Lyno with a brilliant leave.

Lol the bowlers, even though they've been run through, have actually batted better than the batsmen. No comparison.

The fact that this has happened with Warne and Healy in the box for the most part has made it even funnier. Warne seems kind of nonplussed but Healy sounds like he wants to neck himself.

a) Are used to batting on greentops

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Warne, please stop saying "cherry". Just stop speaking. This is a time when commentators should just not talk for overs except for to say 9 for 50 at the end of the over.

Maybe he missed the batsmen actually batting, theirs were most fleeting appearances.

He didn't have time, coz they were in and out too quickly. The number 11 is hanging around for more than 3 balls.

Look guys it's not a 9 for 50 pitch, I don't think, maybe, well maybe it could be, maybe England will do poorly, I mean they could have bowled Australia out for less, they haven't got it in the right areas and the boys have been playing their shots.
