I think the Aussies will make the follow on target (especially given their performance in the last Test), hopefully, though, the England team will be able to put on a good score to leave the Aussies 250+ to win.

but.......... anyone know thw weather forecast in Manchester is for tomorrow ?

There are predictions of possible rain and bad light

I hope that doesn't lose any time - they made up the 20 minutes, today.
The match could yet get as tense & exiting as Edgebaston (_must_get_DVD_) , quality cricket from both sides, England need to mop up the tail better than they did in Birmingham
(p.s. did you see Flintoff's no ball, there, which carried to the boundary and gave away 5 runs )

Eh? Are you sure about that?
AFAIK a no ball that goes to the boundary should be scored as 4 extras.

Re: Cricket
If you are a real cricket nut, this is worth a listen imo.
Click the link to listen or right click and "save target as" to save it to your hard drive and listen to it later.
It is Geoff Boycott talking about the state of the current game, worth a listen if you are a real cricket fan. (file size 31MB)

Re: Cricket
It is only 4 runs the the higher score counts not both and they get an extra ball as normal with the no ball going against the bowler as normal.
5 is scored if the ball hits a helmet the fielding side are using,that's why they tend to be placed directly behind the stumps,less chance of being hit.
Back to the game if we can get them out early today, I'd bat again get another 200 to 250 and declare. If the Aussies then get ahead with Giles turning it now, imagine what Warne could do on the last day. Problem is the weather forecast isn't too good for today.

Re: Cricket
Looking out of my window (N M/cr) it doesn't look to promising, we are v overcast and drizzle, this my pan out to be a drawn game if things don't improve soon.

Nope, IIRC it's either one or the other, not both.

There was slightly better news for Australia when there overnight total of 210-7 was boosted by four runs, after umpire Steve Bucknor's mistake on Friday was amended.
Bucknor signalled a Simon Jones no-ball but he did not signal a four after the ball had raced past batsmen Matthew Hayden and to the boundary.

from http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cric...nd/4147978.stm
- if it was 4 runs only, the score would have been adjusted by 3 runs, not 4 ??

It should have been as far as I can see.
There again, when someone posting on the BBC's site mistakes "there" for "their" I'm possibly going to be a bit sceptical about the accuracy of the rest of their post...!!

nah, presuming that poor grammar implies a lack of knowledge of the laws of cricket, even if it might be correct, is a non sequitur.
It isn't a major issue - it's just the first time I recall 2 bowlers bowling no-balls which carry to the boundary, in consecutive matches
