Not to mention Anderson's sometime wayward bowling

Well played chaps

All depends on Harmison now - it looks a bouncy pitch.

We'll soon know - either he'll knock Watson's block off with his 1st ball or bowl a loopy 83mph delivery to 2nd slip..

Let's hope not. Flintoff isn't there to catch it...

Come on England.. Good start (sort of)

Harmy looks up for it (in a manner of speaking)

I think Australia should be good sports, declare at 102-1 and start the game again from scratch tomorrow

Well they've got 50 for 1 already in 6.2 overs, so expect them to declare in about 25 minutes !

If it were a boxing match, the referee would have stopped the fight by now.

If it were the under 13s egg and spoon race at the school fete the ref would have stopped it by now!

Still at least they seem to have slowed the scoring a little ( only 4.6 an over now)

I found this on the Guardian website:

"Clearly this England team believe in collective responsibility. At 2pm it seemed certain the batsmen would take the blame for today, but the bowlers have diligently performed with equal and arguably greater ineptitude"
