will they still take lunch at normal time?

if so i might get saved on first session runs.

State of this old tractor can see it breaking down.
Must be the aus luxury vehicle tax malarkey
Friend of mine tried to buy a car over there and I ve never seen a man battered so much in my life. Tried to import his car but too many confusing rules.Think he was told he couldn't for 5 yrs
So went to buy one there and got clobbered I think a40% tax on the price.

yes

taking lunch. knackers up a few peoples bets

Earlen lunch taken

Rogers and Watson will look to play safe for the first hour

2/1 Australia with Ladcrooks for anyone who can get on .

2 hours 50, so i would watch your runs predictions...

mid 50s might be the right pace for the spinners, but it may not be.

fack all chance of finding out if you keep bowling this quickly though

toss the odd one up, see what happens. you never know.

Fcuk I hate these replays...  Stresses me out until I notice the market hasn't moved... 

.... thought so too

..... I think I agree with Botham......... if DRS shows hitting stumps then ok, stay with Umpires's call but don't lose the review.

nope - don't agree Wallflower.

it's against the premise of DRS that you believe that there is conclusive evidence to overrule the original decision.

botham is confusing it with how close the technology showed it to be.

i'd perhaps be slightly more sympathetic to the idea if sides only had one review in an entire innings, but with 2 reviews and the reset with the new ball, i think the status quo is correct.

The whole thing needs to be scrapped.  It causes umpire error and creates the need to use it just by having it.

We have the technology, and the third umpire should be informing the on field umpires if something questionable has happened and reviewing it.
If there is no appeal, then checking no balls and such.

The whole idea of an umpire is that they rule supreme.  The whole "how's that" even questions that, but to then turn around and tell him he is full of siht and to get a second opinion makes a mockery of the men in the middle.

And even if you do use the review on a howler, how do you know you are going to get one?  Are we suggesting that we have no faith in the umpires being fair and just?

If a decision is made, it should be reviewed straight away without the need for the players to do so.  They ask the question, only fair they get the right answer.

......tough going this, down now to about -2.5% of bank after an opening lay of draw and clawing some back.

But this is a grind at the moment......no real opportunity at the moment as far as I can see, ie. vulnerable price

I usually have it around 6pm or so

Hours of play (local time): 10.30am start, Lunch 12.30-13.10, Tea 15.10-15.30, Close 17.30

Will Chris Rogers be giving Aussie fans their money back today? Maybe James Faulkner can field that one for us

extended afternoon session, think tea is about 1 hour 20 mins or so from now, not sure exactly

England really need to go 4-4-2 and start playing diamonds in midfield
