i haven't followed cricket for a few years, so it came as a surprise to me to see Shane Watson opening for the Australian Test Team...

Yeah I never really rated him as a batsman but apparently he's been doing alright lately.

Wow I should get on the draw at 5:2. Ball is now 25 overs old. Looks like Johnson willbe doing the dog work once Hilfy comes off - he's only bowled 2 overs this innings. Pitch/bowling isn't as dangerous as this time yesterday.

Crowd is a lot lower atm. Methinks the Barmy Army had a big night, possibly drowning their sorrows.

50 up yo - nice drive by Strauss. Maybe that will stir the Eng-er-land suppprters

45 minutes played and it's now in to about 5/4.....

Aussies look pretty placid at the moment, and no Johnson so far

Might speed up now they're bowling near the wicket.

Come on England, keep it going.

He screamed down the microphone like a little girl. Apparently Hussain set a chair on his foot.

They've taken him to the hospital for a scan. Preliminary reports show a stress fracture - should be out for 4-6 weeks.
