Total rubbish.....
You were lucky to only lose 2-1 and were outplayed on most days of the series. Fair enough you guys have been the better team over many years, but give credit where credit is due or you'll be put down as another aussie who is a bad loser.
he's no Aussie...... I went to high school in Oz so I class myself as part-Aussie - has that affect on you  We'll see what the score is at the end of the series, if you guys manage to lose by just 2-1 that'd be more impressive than your victory last year. I'm just being realistic, England get one result in 20+ years and they are suddenly the worlds best team, meeting the Queen etc.. they showed no respect to Australia after their win and will get crushed because of it. Don't see how a 2-1 defeat can be more impressive than last year's series win. We have a fighting chance of winning this Test (though a draw is most likely). We destroyed you in Sydney four years ago (when arguably your team was stronger than it is now). No reason why we can't do that again. The Convicts should stick to egg chasing, though hang on, the last World Cup was held in Oz and who won that? |

We never claimed to be the worlds best team and think you guys are big favourites for this series. All I was saying is don't be a bad loser and give England some respect where it is due, and it was due after last summer.... |

Hoggy Hoggy Hoggy.....
I did actually (and still do to avoid dissapointment) not believe we could cut through their batting line up.... hoping they continue to prove me wrong! One more in the next hour and we're laughing (particularly if his name is Ricky)

It was the turning point I think. Can't see anything other than a draw now unless pitch deteriorates very quickly. |

Finally, a boundry this session.
Hope it helps settle the partnership, 4 quick wickets made things a little two interesting. They really need the lower order to do it's thing. (Some kak to watch, defensive batting)
A nice dull draw please cricket gods.

Starting to get scary!
However if they get us out with 220 to chase I think it could go either way depending on time and how well England bowl.

oh dear england all out for 123, leaving the aussies 167 to chase in 38 overs, a very achievable total. This is it....we lose this test from such a dominant position the ashes are lost..... ....where's mike atherton to bat out the day when u need him  |

If they can't defend 168 in 37 overs then they don't have much hope. Over 4.5 runs an over in test conditions is tough if the bowlers bowl defensive. On this pitch with a slow outfield it should be impossible.

England need a wicket every 3.75 overs and pull off a huge upset. |
