rather than flay away at it

Field: 3 slips, gully, point, cover, mid off, id on, and fine leg

I see you Stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the Start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry "God for Harry! England and Saint George!"
Shakespeare, Henry V (1599) act 3, sc. 1, l. 31
Welcome to the WACA ground for day 2 of the third test
The day is bright but should be cooler
The wicket is still flat and hard with cracking that is beginning
to open already
We're about 5 minutes away from the resumption.

81.1 Tudor to Waugh, no run, defends to the off side
81.2 Tudor to Waugh, OUT: bowled playing around the ball - The new ball

81.4 Tudor to Lee, one run, forced into the off side
81.5 Tudor to Warne, two runs, off the shoulder of the bat it pops up

tails are up :-

82.1 Harmison to Lee, no run
82.2 Harmison to Lee, FOUR, DROPPED: edged to Butcher at second slip the

Equal to the type of bowling he dishes out is Lee
capable of a good score if he gets going

85.2 Tudor to Lee, two runs, turned too fine for the short leg to catch
into the square leg
85.3 Tudor to Lee, no run

86.2 Harmison to Lee, no run, struck on the shoulder ducking a shortish
ball that kept low
86.3 Harmison to Lee, SIX, short ball - gets under it and lifts it over

to wide third man fence
87.3 White to Warne, no run, defends to the bowlers right hand side
87.4 White to Warne, one run, short down leg - pulled to where the one
day circle might be and Harmison despite his diving lunge after

cannot catch it - falls short of him - great effort

it

there

92.2 Tudor to Warne, no run
92.3 Tudor to Warne, no run
92.4 Tudor to Warne, two runs, OUT: Runout - sorry I didnt see this -

94.1 Tudor to Lee, one run, DROPPED: lofted up in the air to Harmison at

of the bat and it carried over the gully into the fine third man
too fine for Key but he prevents any more than 2 rund

Good morning - welcome to day three of the third Ashes Test -
Australia v England at Perth
Darren Lehmann has a stomach upset (like Steve Waugh yesterday) and
will not field
Instead we have the dynamic Michael Hussey to be 12th man in his
stead
Hussey plays for Western Australia - has played for Australia A
We're ten minutes away from a start - so sit back relax and enjoy
For what it's worth - I am hoping we get into a day four :-)
11.1 McGrath to Vaughan, no run, leaves outside off
11.2 McGrath to Vaughan, no run, leaves outside off
11.3 McGrath to Vaughan, no run, leaves outside off again
11.4 McGrath to Vaughan, no run, leaves outside off once more
11.5 McGrath to Vaughan, no run, leaves outside off - persistently
outside off - and not required to play the batsman is waiting the
straight ball
11.6 McGrath to Vaughan, no run, short and leg - pulls beneath it
missing

Pretty simple to see what the intentions are so far this morning
Batsman happy to wait while the bowler is tempting them to chase
12.3 Gillespie to Dawson, no run, pitched up and still outside off but
