KP has claimed some of the younger players are calling him for advice. You dont have to believe that but it is so clear that his experience would be invaluable right now. Yet again the leadership have missed a trick. Personally I think we need to hire a dentist from Minnesota to deal with out Management probem.

buttler and hales are the odds on favourite for me WD.
hour after lunch absolutely crucial to the outcome of this test. |

Pietersen has said a lot of things that are total bull in the last 18 months.
I have been around the England team for the last 12 months and I can assure you that not one of the current side has had any technical advice from him one on one. He may have sent the odd text to one or two of them but that is it. If anyone needed technical advice on poor alignment, falling over to the off side and attempting to whip everything through the leg side with a strong bottom hand - he is the man. A former great player who seems unable to accept the passing of time and the decline of his abilities. Although watching Moeen Ali this morning he may have passed on some advice re:playing spin... |

qui audet adipiscitur Ali! adipīscitur third-person singular present active indicative of adipīscor Qui audet adipiscitur and qui audet vincit. both mean who dares wins in latin but whats the difference? Follow 1 answer Report Abuse Answers Erik Van Thienen Best Answer: 'Who Dares, Wins' : "Qui audet adipiscitur" "Qui audet vincit" is used less frequently. The verb "adipīscī" is used in the sense 'to get', 'to obtain', 'to acquire', 'to get possession of', 'to achieve'.

I cannot believe that Buttler didnt review his decision
wtf was he thinking about? did he think Jimmy might need it later and save it for him an absolute feckin brain freeze that could cost England this match |
|
By:
only one team gonna win this now.
dunno which one. the one who gets the most runs mrs. |

puer, oh puer, oh puer!
Grammar was never my strong suit although I did go to a grammar school! I personally would have used vincit! As for culture, down my way I sometimes think we see more in a yoghurt pot  ! I think you might be a Convict Johhny but do you know only fools and horses work? |

By:
just thinking..neither team has batted that well but with the weather becoming more conducive to batting is the draw entirely out of the question if batters apply themselves as they should & both sides post big 2nd inns totals..think 30's a bit big imho?

awkward needing to go out.
on the one hand, i could trade out of my current draw liability for an 860 profit all round. on the other hand, it surely aint gonna be a draw and im just chucking 226 quid down the toilet. i hate going out with a 5k red on anything. i have a feeling whatever i do will be the wrong thing. if i trade out, i'll come back to australia 150 for 6 and the draw 100.0 but if i dont i'll come back to australia 200 for 0 and the draw 8.0 |

I see your point now Johnny.
Third person. As Dell boy says ( He ) who dares wins. He who hesitates don'.... |

couldn't be further from the truth WHISPERING..a genuine product of this benighted isle
also went to grammar school..really enjoyed Latin..got the 'O' level but a lot of our uber rich language derives from it |

By:
take the money bob. these two sides are capable of anything. should have taken Aus yesterday at 7's+ but thought today was the batting day of the match.

have been trying to learn a bit of Italian as Mrs 'Death has relatives in Firenze. We stay on their vinyard sometimes. Living in Kent we were taught to hate all foreigners from an early age and treat their food and language with suspicion.
I advise all youngsters now to learn languages and how to play the guitar! |

By:
i thought the aussies looked a good price too, but didnt want to ruin a good position.
itd be a lot easier if you could see the score before you make decisions. what i wouldnt give for a grays sporting almanac! |
|
By:
oh well ive traded out of the draw lay. so anybody wanting to know whats gonna happen, aus 50 for 6 by tea. like frickin clockwork.
 |

By:
money in bank!
nothing wrong with that. take the day off and actually watch and enjoy the game. |
|
By:
Ali has done well with the bat this series..respect
|
|
By:
Clarke losing the plot. Would be a good idea for him to get a bad back! Taylor in for Butler would keep it fresh for me. Ali doing well at 8. I wouldn't change him from there. Works well. If the middle order had to play the softer ball they would continue to do well.

good p'shp..that
not the best of shots by broad |

finn batting sensibly

By:
Aus will need all of 500 to have any chance & for once the longer they take the better
|
|
By:
game continues to move on quickly
|
|
By:
You traded out at a better price than me Sideshowbob. Making a profit is the aim of the game, so don't worry about what happens next.

By:
u317.5 at 1.9 when BRoad and MOeem were in was a gift... they'd already put on like 70... was never gonna go above 100 and beyond.
|
|
By:
intriguing now..if eng get 2/3 wkts earlyish it's GSM
however if aussies are 160/170 for 2 at end of play they can still win i've had some of the draw but BOTH sides need to bat lights out for that to transpire |
|
By:
Goes without saying Australia cannot be as poor in their second dig. If they wipe out the lead for the loss of 2 or less I have them as favourites.
A chase of anything above 200 would be very interesting. |
|
By:
England surely a good price @ 1.6. This game could be over today
|
|
By:
Have they not put up Aus 2nd inngs runs? I can't see it.

By:
Found it sorry.

Aussie price is extraordinary. Some rich people are going to make a lot of money!
|
|
By:
and a wicket sends Aussie price soaring. might have a dabble here!
|
|
By:
These Aussie openers are always so bloody lucky. They miss everything and when they actually lay a bat on it it flies off the outside edge for 4.
|

By:
free money!

By:
That looked high. England into the tail already
 |
|
By:
About time. He was gonna be in trouble if he kept missing it.
|

By:
Big wicket for England theLlimpet could have stuck around. Warner may score quickly but cannot last on this pitch. Aussies lay is virtual easy money now.
|
|
By:
Don't think it's that easy money when Warner is playing with this amount of fortune.

Hayden Ponting Martyn Clarke Katich Gilchrist Fair to say not many of this current lot would have got into their side of the mid 2000's. Not a problem though - they only had a bowling line up with McGrath, Lee, Warne. Still trying to work out how we won in 2005! |

By:
Aus favourites soon. Lay England probably the bet.
