Disappointing 1st Test

After such a fantastic start on Days 1 and 2, we looking at a draw for the 1st Ashes Test.
With the exception of Mr Cricket's fantastic century and the Siddlenator's hat-trick, we have been below average on the rest of the game.

Some quotes of worthy mention from the various cricket online threads:

Poor old Mitch Johnson looks about as threatening to the English batsmen as my 98 year old grandmother.

The Barmy Army are in full voice now. I have no idea what they're chanting, but it's something that involves finger pointing as well. (courtesy of Cric Info live Scoreboard)

Ponting has had enough of the X man and has recalled Siddle who, in his most cartoon-like way, looks pumped. (courtesy of Cric Info live Scoreboard)

You have to love Michael Hussey, bounding around the outfield like a puppy as Trott flicks into space (courtesy of Cric Info live Scoreboard)
