Have Ch 9 managed to keep the rights to occasionally show the cricket or is that still an on-going battle?
Still ongoing. Ten have made a BIG play for the rights.

I'm surprised Ten will have the money for the rights, but there you go.

If they do get it, I hope it is the end for Mark Nichols and Ian Healey
They need something to get advertisers interested again after they cheapened out when the AFL deal was renewed and also missed out on any part of the NRL deal.

Job done, go put your feet up, Warner! I anticipate the old "declare during the evening session" routine after we go 500 up. Have to remember it's Brisbane weather we're dealing with, but that should still be plenty of time.

Is sending the poms into bat this evening such a bad idea? Given the Aussie bowling performance, we could wrap this series up tomorrow.
poo poo, it's standard procedure, almost. People are saying the wicket's getting flat but there are cracks opening up, so even MiJo should be able to do well on it.

I'd declare now just because you never know what the weather in Brisbane's going to do over the next couple of days.

EDIT: Jesus if Haddin keeps putting off getting his 50 they're going to have to let MiJo get his too.

70% chance of rain tomorrow (although in Brisbane cloudbursts tend to happen around 5-6pm) and 40% on Monday.
