[Hazzman]

I understand the Barmy Army are considering to 'boycott' the rest of the series after over-zealous stewarding and mistreatment.

 

[OldGit]

Youngest of 12 kids called Jan, Feb .......

Embarassing :icon_redf

 

[Melton Fox]

Looks like they'll need to adapt the Boycott & Gooch method of opening the batting, and do it for the best part of 2 days. Surely that's not behind the best cricketing professionals we've got in this country

Good excuse for avoiding further embarassment I suppose:icon_bigg

LATEST SCORE

England 293 - 5

Collingwood went 4 short of a century.
Flintoff went for 16.
Both stupid wickets to give away, silly mistakes.

Pieterson currently 8 runs off a century.

END OF PLAY DAY 4.

 

[MKFox]

feck me, made it to day 5 then!

 

[Durham Fox]

Possibility of storms on day 5 too if England can hold out til lunchtime. McGrath limping too

 

[Tamworth Fox]

The only chance England have if by some miracle it rains and Day 5 is cancelled

 

[glyn]

Would be one of the most undeserved draws in history, but who cares!

Anyway it would be Ponting's fault for batting on day 3.

Can't see it happening though - I guess it will be wrapped up by lunch.

full day of batting excellent no chance

With no batters left once we lose a wicket
