No, nowhere near the middle of tour.
Haddin, one good catch, one blunder. Hmmm, 3/88 on a tricky looking pitch, hard to call but didnt bowl very well.

Mid tour doesn't have to be the middle. It is somewhere between the start of the first game to the end of the last. But then, you knew that and are still just trying to grasp at anything.

Interesting that the LBW review was decided by Smith and Clarke was nowhere to be seen. I didn't hear any mention that he was off the pitch.
Clarke/Smith looking quite toothless when it was let going their way in that middle session. Chopping and changing the bowling every over at times. Changing fields 3 times in the same over.

England would be very happy in current position. Makes Haddin's blunder look even worse dropping Joe Bonk on zip.
Plenty cricket left.

Because being typical Aussies, channel 9 decided to actually turn up for this one. Last time round they knew they were screwed and didn't bother sending over the commentators. This time they think they might win so have actually turned up.

Why? Because C9 have the rights.
So C9 have exclusive rights to the whole series ? that sucks. It also means as long as it's on Gem I can't tape it.

I wonder why the games against Kent and Essex are called TOUR MATCHES.
No one cares about tour matches, - ashes is what counts, doesn't it? Or do "friendlies" suddenly count for something in your psyche now?

The fact you call them tour matches makes my point perfectly
