And now..... surely we couldn't, could we?

Surprised they didn't put us back in and go for the kill, game would be nearly over by now

He always seemed to turn up against us didn't he. What I would give to have been over there for that tour...my uncle was at the MCG on Boxing Day, probably the best single day of cricket in my lifetime

The signing of Karl Henry seemed to make a big difference as well

Hussey was good but I wouldn't say as good, somehow managed to completely forget about Clarke though I'll give you that one. But watching the re-run of the Adelaide Test during the rain break, they had a bowling attack of Siddle, Hilfenhaus, Bollinger and Hauritz.

Well done mate.

Went to the effort of scouring back for that only for you to beat me to it :sna:

Disagree with the last bit. It's far from one of the great Aussie teams but they're much better than they were in 2010/11, stronger bowling attack and Smith and Warner are a cut above any batsman they had back then, bearing in mind Ponting was way past his best

Nah we're a match for anyone at home and NZ conditions will suit us better. Won in SA not too long ago. We just haven't got the bowling attack for Australia or the subcontinent

Worry when he said at the toss it was the aggressive option, it's like being seen to be attacking and showing 'intent' has clouded our judgement

He was just trying really hard. I found it quite endearing. Probably not the best situation to bring him on but no harm done

Still had a chance at 310-7 when I woke up this morning but that 8th wicket partnership's taken the game away again. Now they're taking the piss a bit Lyon will get plenty out of this pitch. Ooh declared. Just in time for us to face the new ball under the lights. Lovely stuff

It was very funny tbf

When he got to the halfway line and turned round as if to say "come on guys help me out, I can't run all that way!" :lol:

I liked this at the time but despite the own goal Magners was excellent tonight, unrecognisable from the player we saw against Cardiff. He can stay there now with Bryan ahead of him as far as I'm concerned

Should be some game

Pretty much this, bar a nervous last 15 mins. If any doubt remained, it vanished tonight. We're the real deal.

Boro have an impressive squad but they've been very underwhelming whenever I've seen them. Think the way they play will suit us down to the ground. Can see this going like the Derby game. We'll press them hard, hit them on the break and win by 2+ goals

If we can win the first 2 like we should, then Belgium last is ideal. A free hit and good test of where we're at going into the knockout stages. That isn't a safe assumption though!
