In the office, one of two Brits very little banter aimed at me today. I am feeling a bit unappreciated.

Aussies resigned to defeat? I think it will be much closer than British press are claiming.

 

[Jeff]

Another wicket for Broad. 73-3

The Aussies as pleasant as ever.

Well England can waft a Broad stick at them all is all I can say.

That's unfortunate, since it makes no sense.

Wearing my "he bowls to the left, he bowls to the right" t-shirt as it's mufti day. Couple if Indians spotted it, so far no other comments.

Mitchell batted very well yesterday.
