Well in the balance. I would have lumped on Austrailia as their innings finished.

I'm deleighted for Monty and must applaud Harmison on his return to form. He appears to have worked phenomenally hard to get there, and thats terrific for him

Shame this wasn't the team picked for the 1st test

We need a good first innings lead, don't fancy chasing much at all versus Warne in the foruth innings on a pitch already taking spin.

At the moment, I fancy Australia to win a close one as I don't see us getting that lead

Finally, how much more interesting is it to watch a test played on a pitch that gives bowlers a chance too...the pitch in Adelaide made for very slow cricket, enlivened only by England's last day collapse.

Wow. It's worth underlining what an exceptional performance that was by monty. Warne, who's regarded as the best spinner to have played the game has a career best of 4-88 at the WACA.

For Monty to eclipse that in his first ashes test is amazing.

Crongrats to GBH too for coming good and showing the talent that helped win us the ashes last time. I think england have already given themselves too difficult a task to retain the ashes, but credit where credit's due, that was an excellent bowling performance and they definitely have a shot at this test match.

lool. Hopefully this will go down as one of the classic cricket quotes along with the legendary "The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willy"

If I ever meet Geraint Jones (especially, though it applies to several others), I hope I will have the maturity not to kick him very hard where it hurts

It's all a bit disappointing again isn't it. Whilst we've played very well at times, again, we've lost wickets cheaply and can't bat a session out. Taking a wicket with the first ball of the 2nd Aussie innings should have been a great start for us, but nothing now for the rest of the day and now all Ponting and Co have to do is dig deep and the Ashes are theirs.
