Collinwood = Awful.

Eng 39/3

Collingwood has hardly ever been good enough for test cricket and even more so over the past couple of years. He should be retired after this series and Cook should be left out of the SA tour and told to work on his game.

We're still in the box seat but if we lose another wicket or 2 tonight theres not much in it and thats a disgrace after the way the bowlers have played.

England far too defensive in their second innings, just play some shots!.

This is far from over, in fact I'm tempted to stick cash on the Aussies now.

We'll need more than just Broad and Swann bowling well in the second innings.

We've already got enough, still think Freedie will have a big say too with the bat/ball or both

Not with the amount of time left in the game we haven't.

If we get a lead of say 400, then the Aussies might not make 250 because the game will be all but gone, but if we only get a lead of 250, I think they'd knock it off comfortably.

Yeah just like they did in the first innings, and this pitch isn't gonna get any easier either. 250 on this pitch is the equivilant of 400+ on a decent pitch.

Very tough to score, immposible to defend for any length of time

Bookies know what's going on, England are massive odds on

Of course we shouldn't lose from here, but nothing is ever sure with the England cricket team!

Was it just me or did Hawkeye see to have a mind of its own?

I'll be happy if we get 175 - 200

I'd like to bitterly complain about the sh*t umpiring today. With the referral system that is due to come in place it would be a different game.
