My suspicion is that dividing point comes when an Aussie nicks it and when an Englishman does.

In fact, you are; he accuses Broad of 'blatant cheating;' as opposed to the all-Australian-perfectly-acceptable 'subtle cheating,' presumably.

Good morning all. Walk my arse - thing of the past, been years since it was the 'done thing' that was actually adhered to. Move on Lehmann!

If Lehmann needs reminding, I suggest he Youtubes a few Ricky Ponting fielding videos over claimed catches. Sunil Gavaskar has a few choice words on the matter!

Morning Tea-ers, morning Crashers, morning everyone.
Torn for this test - on the one hand utter humiliation for the Aussies would be lovely, however it might be better long term for them to nick this one. They'll think they are on the right lines and we'll have a bit of thinking to do (which is right...really don;t think we've been at our best, just had that ability to step up at crucial times).
Let the games begin....

Good morning all.
We were at Lords yesterday for the woman's game. Quite disappointing, in many ways: only one bar open so the queues were ridiculous, they ran out of sandwiches, there weren't nearly enough stewards, so people were moving about during overs, and when it was mentioned to them that this was not particularly good, some of them got aggressive and finally, England's women can't run between wickets and if they aren't going to score boundaries, running is kinda crucial.
MrW had won tickets to the game via the Times. He spent much of Tuesday evening getting the picnic ready. Sitting on the tube on our way to Baker Street, I asked him jokingly if he had the tickets....and no, he hadn't, they were still on the kitchen notice board.

Nasser Hussain talking about how Chris Broad will react to the comments,
"These boys go out on an evening, they don't sit in their hotel room," Hussain said. "That's more likely where Broad will have to be careful because after these words, there might be some Aussie out there that, after having a few beers on an evening, wants to have a little go at Broad.
"But these are grown men, they can look after themselves and know how to behave like England cricketers, hopefully."
Does that mean he expects Broad to urinate on any Aussie who says anything to him - or was Monty not the England cricketer Nasser had in mind?

Morning Wobblers.
I saw the scorecard. Looked like only Taylor and Edwards has any idea of keeping the strike rate up. Brindle's 21 off 72 really isn't good enough.
