One more wicket before stumps and I'd say we're slightly ahead

Yeah not looking so bad now, hopefully bowl them out not to far into the first session.

Fuck Hilfenhaus is an absolute weapon. Where is that guy that called him a 'useless cunt'?

Felt bad for Cook not reaching his hundred. It was a wonderful innings to watch whatever your team. Despite the collapse I still think a draw is very much on the cards. This English bowling attack is not going to run through Australia's top order on this deck.

Well they've started well so far, hopefully Husseys day. Good to see Freddy steaming in today at around 90mph

Just a poor shot from Hughes. He won't be dropped for the remainder of the series at the bare minimum. Nor should he be.

Ponting was desperately unlucky. He might have been LBW but England didn't really appeal for that and Rudi made it clear he was not going to give him out LBW. This is a perfect opportunity for Hussey to play himself back into form.

Was he given out for LBW or caught by first slip?

It is a surprise, I agree. The ball was swinging a little not a whole lot though. It was a poor shot selection, 5 of the wickets were from pull shots. Not great news that. Todays first session is crucial if England gets them quick we are in some trouble.

Quite the reverse of Cardiff they were preying for rain and it seems we will be to.

Caught.

TBH Rudi is an atrocious umpire needs to have his eyes and hearing tested. I still cringe at the Sangakkara decision in Hobart when he was 197.

I think Aleem Dar and Taufel should umpire all games
I think there is alot to be said for age affecting umpiring skills. Rudi from memory bagged a fair few of those ICC umpire of the year awards a few years back but seems to be getting increasingly poor as time goes by.

If you were to look at the number of umpiring decisions that landed themselves newspaper articles in recent history I would expect an overwhelming number of them to go to messers Hair, Koertzen and Bucknor. The three oldest if I'm not mistaken. By contrast like you said Taufel and Dar who at a glance look to be two of the youngest going around rarely seem at the centre of a scandal.
