You must remember, in order for us to win by day three, we can't realistically still be batting at the end of day 2 - even we aren't likely to be able to bowl them out twice in one day.
It was a planned collapse, I tell you, ensuring victory by tea tomorrow.

Don't worry mate, I understand all about cricket tactics and everything, and I know we probably would have declared at tea tonight or at the end of play to day if we weren't bowled out. Anyway, England aren't doing to bad right now (1/89) but I just realised: they effectively only hace 9 wickets so it may as well be 2/89.

Actually, the far more important thing than the fact that Australia collapsed is that England didn't. They showed the kind of grit and character that has seemed to have been lacking since they last won the series here in 86/87.
It is, in my opinion, a very good day for cricket. Here's hoping the rest of the series will be just as fiercely contested!

Actually although as previously noted I don't like cricket much, this thread is quite interesting. Please keep putting up some more score updates as we go along!
"Aussie Waugh" - ouch. Bet he gets a century against england one day.
