Wooo hooo....lunch will be all the sweeter!

Maybe you have failed to notice that I was defending England's run rate well before you or I read the opinions of anyone else on the matter.

No I didn't fail to notice, hence the debate we have had. You brought the 'expert opinions' point into the debate as reinforcement and justification of your own opinion

The opinion of the majority of experts is the same as mine; England played according to the conditions, the pitch and the amount of time left in the game.

Really? The majority? Did you take a straw poll?

Even if that was an accurate factoid, it does not sway my opinion re: the England 2nd innings.

I am afraid we must agree to disagree 7x7

Anderson is a class act, think the fat lady is getting warmed up now.

To win some games this series Australia will be hoping for an injury to him

Stunning catch from Cook. One to go!

Pattinson to the crease....

Stunning catch from Cook. One to go!

Wasn't it just.

Should be all over soon I hope.

Will be, one way or another...

47 to win, one wicket to lose

My word - Australia is taking the game to England with only 31 runs to go... Some expensive overs this morning

Squeeky bum time now..

The Aussies seem to want to get it over quickly. Have they got a pub lunch booked?

Steak pie special until 3pm

It's as tense as one-day cricket, so it is.

Oh - oh - He's dropped it!

I thought I wasn't going to get my third pint in, there...

He is as nervous as anything

So who is going to win ?

Lunch and 20 to go.

The lunch break will benefit England here... The batsmen will have to re focus and also deal with all the advice from the dressing room... A lot of pressure

Unbelievable effort for Australia to get within 20...

What a finish coming up.

England still favoured. Just one wicket needed by them.

Fantastic stuff!

So who is going to win ?

Id still favour England. just one wicket.

come on Cook you are missing a trick here, get Anderson on.

the balls in it's 64th over and should start to reverse.

get Haddin out while you still have the chance, he's a dangerous player and won't go down without a fight.

what did i say about Haddin yesterday ?

Got no fingernails left, and i reckon the Aussies are gonna make it home. Will Anderson bowl after lunch ?

I;d give you a like for that but I don't believe you

Well called

That's not the Aussie spirit

Yeah I know, but I still feel England has the upper hand. Australia can only make one mistake and it's all over. If Australia had 3 wickets in hand i would say Australia. I think the Lunch break will also benefit England.

However, I really want Australia to win

Haha I can feel the tension from here....if the Ausdies win I will fall off my barstool laughing.....if England win I will smile smugly.

I love being a sweaty sometimes!
