I went and had a shower and getting dressed this thought flew across my mind. I bet its 7-120. Awful.Awfully boring.
Seriously, I don't know why this keeps being said. First the comms and now random people.
If you bowl on Hughes's pads he literally cannot get you away. He can't play off his pads at all - you just *dont* bowl short outside off and he won't score. He's not improved anything. He's just "guys don't fecking bowl in this slaying zone that I have.. I guess I look more solid now?.."
England will bat for about 2 and a half days score 600 runs and then will get jittery at Australia's first partnership of note on the 5th day.
Heard it here first.
Heard it here first.
can see this being over early day four, England get bowled out for ~300 and then we collapse.. Again.
That long?
Hardly surprising this.
Australia's batting is shite, everyone knew that.
England will now put up 500 in their 2nd innings before Australia get bundled over for 150. Hoping Australia get their act together or this series is going to be a bore

Englands second inning will be 350- 400 I reckon
Agar should have been out on 6 with the stumping, this is getting frustrating.
Get Anderson to knock his head off...
Lucky runs coming here.
What's this short shite?
Agar will be coming out to open Second innings.
Lucky? This guy is quality!
Stick him in at #3.
Stick him in at #3.
He looks a better test batsman than Raina.
Smoked through the covers.
This 50 has turned the innings on it's head. 100 behind staring down the barrel is now only 46 behind and really not 'out of the game' by any stretch.

That 'stumping' has cost England 32 runs. Poor umpiring and bad bowling, I still don't think the pitch is a bad as the scorecard makes out.
I think there is more life with the new ball than lead on.
Didn't see the stumping, what happened?

fecking Finn, pull him off.
He's got a first class average of 33 in 10 matches.
From cricinfo... "Agar should look to take last ball singles and save Hughes from getting out."
Looked out and wasn't given.
Stumped. Went up the third umpire. Boot looked on the crease, but his shadow was falling over the boot and it wasn't 100% conclusive.
Probably should've been given out, but there was about 3% doubt.
Has Finn heard of yorkers?
Agar has the Gilchrist style high grip on the bat. Playing well
Hughes is doing well in keeping his wicket, just needs to do what he is doing and hold on
Bit of frustration in the DRS then regarding the stumping.
Massive runs these.
Massive runs these.
England in bowling shite to tail enders shocker.
Agar = secret weapon.
Answer = Anderson?
Answer = Anderson?
Hughes needs to stick around here.
Very defensive captaincy now, won't surprise me Australia knock off these next 30 runs.
Is Broad injured?
You really don't need to bother saying that Cook is being defensive.
I assume so but then again I have no idea why he's fielding if that's the case.
Well this is making things interesting, this lad is not a number 11 batsman. Swap him with Cowan 
Meanwhile, Ponting has scored a century in his final first-class innings. Fitting way for a legend to leave the game.

Just seen the score, Jimmy Anderson is some bowler.
Great 50, well done kid.
England doing an England.
Great knock by Agar, Finn bowling like an idiot pitching it up short is half the reason for this mess
