Brilliant trash talk too, he's just told Collingwood he should be ashamed he accepted an MBE for scoring 7 runs in the Ashes win.

lol Shane Warne was the highest run scorer for the Aussies, 71! Damn we are poor at cricket.
Then another batting collapse,
Just don't turn out for the last day guys, get on a plane home in the middle of the night

There was always little hope in the series, and without Vaughan (probably the 2nd best captain in the world) a fit Trescothick and the best bowler from the last ashes (Jones) it was going to be ugly.
England knew that the tail was weak and for me it is the difference between the two tails that has been a deciding factor. We never got enough runs to create pressure, its far easier to take 20 wickets when you are able to apply pressure.

Wonder if the Aussies will send Warne out to bat with Langer, with McGrath at 3. |

Hilarious thing just happened in the South Africa v India match .
India began their 2nd innings and lost 2 wickets in the first three overs, when the second batsmen was out at 6 for 2 no batsman appeared. Apparently the batting team have three minutes to get the next batsman to the crease, it seemed that Tendulkar who should have been in next was was not able to appear at that moment and realising that the next man in could be given out(timed out)they toyed with putting in a bowler instead.
After the third umpire had chatted to the umpire via radio a proper batsman did appear almost 5 minutes after the last one was out and apparently the rule is if South Africa had appealed to the umpire he would have had the option to give the new man out, timed out to wicket.
I have never seen that or heard of that form of dismissal before.
Fair play to South Africa for not appealing tho.

Apparently, 4 players have been given out 'timed out' before but it has never happened in a test match.

What was he doing to take five minutes?! I think that and handling the bowl are the two rarest, though obstructing the field is up there too. about 10 or 11 ways to get out I think.
