aussies going along very quickly, although losing wickets at regualr intervals

 

[Left_Hander]

The only problem I have at the moment is the quality of the pictures - there heaps blury. Other than that a good job so far - Australia going nicely.

 

[aussie1st]

Sad to see Gilly get out Still in a good position as long as we stop losing wickets until happy hour.
