The Primary Club is a charitable organisation that raises money to provide facilities for visually impaired people. To be eligible to play for the Primary Club you should have been dismissed at least once in your life for a golden duck, ie, out first ball.

Matty Hayden: the URL to sign up is http://www.primaryclub.org/shop/join.php.

Coming back from conceding 407 on the opening day of the Second Test is a big ask for the Australians. It didn't help when Hayden hit his first ball of the match straight to Andrew Strauss. Justin Langer maintained his tradition of getting struck in the first over of the innings. He describes what happened in his Test diary on BBC Online. At least he did recover to make 82. Australia were looking healthy at 194 for 3. Not so at 308 for 10. Thank you Flintoff, Fred and bin Giles, Wheelie.

Day's end, and Warnie brought up wicket number 594. I wish I had the stats on how many clean -bowled-off-a-ripsnorting-leg-break dismissals are among that 594, but you can add Andy Strauss to that list.

Midwinter-Midwinter votes for Friday: 3 pts - Ashley Giles; 2 pts - Justin Langer; 1 pt - Andrew Flintoff.
