Told you there's life after Anderson aye БеннеAha i was positive but can't say I expected that! Apparently Anderson was doing a full warm up this morning so he might be back for the Oval anyway, though personally i'd not risk him if we don't have to! can't wait for today, mad to think i could be there when England win the Ashes, not happened at Trent Bridge in my lifetime.

Hahaha great little segment on Sky atm with Ponting, Nasser and Athers practicing slip catching, not only is the coaching practice immense (bloke is basically just chucking a ball straight at a bloke kneeling on the ground with a bat who directs it away) but Nasser just nearly took a beauty diving low to his right

Sky cricket punditry really shames all football punditry. It really does make the majority of football punditry look like it's aimed towards children, with it's use of recurring soundbites and cliches. A small part of me dies every time I hear someone say that Sky miss Andy Gray.

Unbelievable day again, I'm going to see England raise the Ashes live for the first time ever at Trent Bridge, amazing. EdinBruges We saw the Nasser segment from the stand, it was hilarious when he dropped the quite easy one to his right and got up holding his head in his hands haha, I need to try and find it on sky though. Broad's 2nd over to Warner before lunch was insane, shades of Flintoff to Ponting in the 2005 series for me.

Three different bowlers have taken five-fors in our last 3 innings, incredible especially after Lords. Four different bowlers have taken five-fors in our last 4 innings, incredible especially after Lords.

This is making the decision to not play another 30 mins last night looks ridiculous

Great day again, albeit brief. Couldn't really ask for a better test match, and I get £110 back too, which covers beer costs, lovely stuff.

I know you think we'll miss Anderson when he's gone (rightly) but I'll say it again: I think we've got the makings of a very good squad here with the right management. And I have faith in Bayliss/Cook to make the most of it.

In England, maybe.
We don't have a front line spinner and our batting line-up is far from settled. Still need an opener, 3 spot is up for grabs. Buttler at least has made the WK spot safe for now. The tests out in UAE against Pakistan will be a good bearing.
