If Ponting bats beyond lunch tomorrow, I'll listen to you blokes!

Phew!

Well you wouldn't bet on them getting through to stumps would you?

OK, what are the stakes ?

I bet they go before stumps.

[namtrak]

they'll get through to lunch tomorrow

[Gumby]

Alright, it's a nearest to the pin competition.

Place your predictions here: What time are they all out?

I say Tonight, after a 30 minute extension of play. 15 Minutes later. All Gorn.

Midge,

Do you have a cousin in Vic called gnashing gnat? Just a thought.

I'll say 6.00 pm (although with Warne bowling there might not be overtime tonight)

The'yre 3 fa at the moment.

It seems the thing to do these days. In the past it was unheard of. Then we lost a test by doing it in England (1981 I think) and another in India from memory. Now it's win or draw but in the main, give the others no winning chance.

I may be panicking a bit but I'm starting to worry about the poms hanging in there for a draw. As Jeff Thompson has been predicting for a few days now, there's a storm looming for tomorrow (Mon). I was OK about batting again, but I would have liked the poms to have batted for half an hour yesterday afternoon.

It's damned hot here today. 34.5 C in my shed.

My money is on just about lunch tomorrow, weather permitting (which it should, as Brissy storms tend to come in in the late arvo)

[Rossluck]

3 for two hundred, 4 specialist bowlers, 35 degrees, thunder outside ....

If the poms can get 350 this innings, then it's game on for the rest of the series!

They all think it will go like last time, loose the first and take out the Ashes.

Come on give me a break, the boys are just playing with them. 5 nil or maybe a rained out draw (well we need the rain).

They just allowed them to prolong their suffering into a 5th day to grind there noses in it.

[Studley 2436]

I couldn't help feeling at the time that 500 was good time to declare the first innings.

Would have thought you enforce the follow on but perhaps Ponting felt the pitch would really turn to rubbish on the last day and he didn't want to bat on that. Fair enough

Anyway it looks like the Poms are playing themselves in. I think Australia will win at 1.30 tomorrow but the Poms will be feeling like they can play a bit.

Mind you their main problem this match was their bowlers weren't up to it

It seems the spectacle of a patron being arrested in Brisbane for trying to incite the crowd to chant Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi oi oi... was too much even for Cricket Australia, who have just announced that Trumpets, backpacks AND the Mexican Wave will be allowed in Sydney.

wow.
