Well, its not been a very good start for the England boys, this despite me hearing on the radio whilst coming in to work that the Aussies were 164-5, only then when I got to work, to log on to the BBC to find that it was for 2 wickets

Anyway, have live commentary, and it ain't going off until the last ball is bowled.

Its early days yet. Just keeping you on your toes!

3/248 - although it's only day 1 it sounds like a good batting wicket.

Did you know that the Gabba is Warnie's best ground?

100 up for Ponting!!

3/277

Good way to start the day, with England getting pumped

Ponting's 100 off 136 balls Guess the Aussies are going for it.

Hussey's 50 is up... 3/318... couldn't ask for a better 1st day for Australia.

3/320 they are motoring

This was posted on BBC

"They have taken the Hill from the Gabba So the Barmies have nowhere to sing And Geoffrey is 'tekin no pleasure' At bowling no pace and no swing.

And nobody's told poor old Harmi' He's supposed to be hitting the sticks Not trying to poleaxe poor Freddie - They're not targets, you fool, they're the slips!

And men now abed here in England Be thankful that you cannot see How Ponting is smashing poor Hoggard - Now Pietersen's twisted his knee.

It's five to six and it's raining; The Aussies 280 for three; Now you tell me that Pietersen's bowling That's it - I give in - bed for me."

3/342 - likely to make 350ish by close of play.

Huge first day. (for Australia - one England would like to forget methinks.)

And it's stumps - 3/346.

Well if its a batting wicket, then the chances are England will have a good knock when they get in. Don't count them chickens...

I was recalling the Ashes series when he was captain. We played crap the first game then totally wiped the board with the UpsideDowners...hoping for a replay!

Day ended on 53 for 3 I suppose there is the possibility of a middle order rally?

We can but hope that Geraint Jones and Ashley Giles can prove the doubters wrong and get a good innings and push us past 400.
