Birchy I've got a mate who can't make the test (sunday 4th) at OT. He is interested in swapping his ticket for the one day - do you know anyone who has a one day ticket who may want to swap with him?

The Aussies have three decent pace bowlers, but their batting apart from Clarke must be the weakest they have had since Kim Hughes was Captain.
I hear the game is sold out for all five days, but it is likely to be over in three.

I think Kerry Packer might have had some influence in the poor team under Kim Hughes! There's no such excuse for this lot.
There'll certainly be a result!

Should have elected to bowl first was unsure why he went for the bat and Im not using hindsight here.....

Pitch at Trent bridge usually turns and with wicket being extra dry with the good weather it will break up a treat. The Aussies batting last on this pitch will struggle badly against Swanny on his own turf.

Not sure how the word Batter made it to the Cricket lexicon.. i hate it. It is a Batsman (or thats how we call them in mens cricket)... Batter is baseball term from a country that does not understand cricket...

Someone more pedantic than me
I see it being used very frequently by commentators.. I can understand them using it at the IPL, but please not at the test.
It is up there with the use of the word 'undertaking' when someone overtakes from the left instead of the right. Blooody BBC also uses undertaking these days!!!

Gonna be a tough day for us with the pitch not doing much today. We need to strangle them and force the mistakes, we cant let them get too much of a lead.
I think we will bat pretty big in 2nd innings so as long as we don't let them bat us out of it today we should be in the driving seat.
