It is bizarre that the players can't see the game from their dressing rooms.0

I think the dial-a-score service has ceased.MrOneLung said:Any that work on a phone?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, in the days of old, when no-one had mobile phones & there was no internet, one of the best ways of keeping up with the latest score was to phone "dial-a-score" service (or whatever it was called). I remember my first job, working for HSBC (Midland Bank as it was called then) I used to ring this number (normal rate, not premium or anything excessive) and you would get the latest cricket score & the last 3 men out. I clearly remember the 1984 Test Series against the Windies as I would be dialling this number about 7 or 8 times a day, only to hear the following......" England are 180 for 6, last 3 batsmen out were, Gooch c Gomes, b Marshall for 45, Botham c Greenidge b Marshall for 2, Willy b Garner for 6.
The youth of today, don't know they're born.1 -
C'mon England0

I'd never quite watched a whole test match on ceefax (did for the football), but certainly kept it on the TV for the whole day0

Gonna be a long winter.0

Big chance for Stoneman to make a name for himself. He knows Australian conditions well and has looked in good nick out here1

Boring record runscorer out of the way, time for our flashboys to ruin Starc4

Let'a hope the Aussies pay so much weight to getting out the experienced boys that Stoneman, Malan and co. can contribute to getting us to a more than competitive 340+.
Stoneman with his experience in Australia, if he stays patient I'm hoping for good things.1 -
Just popped a pill, should be awake all night.2

I'm really hoping that he proves to be Cook's long term partner. Although, equally, we might be asking soon, who is going to be Stoneman's partner?killerandflash said:Big chance for Stoneman to make a name for himself. He knows Australian conditions well and has looked in good nick out here

Don't want to tempt fate but Vince looks like a player who has gone away and worked at his game. Unlike, I suspect, the Snail has.2

Vince looks like the best player in the world. He'll flash one to second slip in a minute0

Mockers alert !!2

The one thing we shouldn't underestimate is the fact that the Aussies do only have four bowlers. A little niggle from one of their injury prone quickies and then they will have just three. The Aussies then become very reliant on Lyon and if we can stop him from settling then they really will be in trouble.

and from what I've seen so far they're not Mitchell or McGrath.Addick Addict said:The one thing we shouldn't underestimate is the fact that the Aussies do only have four bowlers.

This is like when spongefoot scored a goal for us. Who is this guy and what's he done with Vince!?2

Aussies bowling a load of crap. Very heartening.1

The pitch will get faster and the temperature hotter, A good time to bat at the moment0

Ye of little faith - 37-1Addickted2TheReds said:^I'll return to this post when we're 30-4 at 1am :-)

Didn't know about the new rule changes. I agree with the "grounded bat" one . but not sure about the no topping up of reviews after 80 overs. Beefy will be pleased with the no loss of the review if it was umpires call.0

I usually can't stand the guy, but Boycott"s just made 2 great comments in commentary.
1. Vince is a very talented cricketer. He'll look like a world beater for 20-30 runs, unfortunately, he has a habit of then playing a stupid shot to get out.
2. These are the best conditions an Englishman will ever face in Brisbane. It's usually hotter than hell, so make the most of it3
