Read all about it.

Off to Melbourne today for 3 weeks. Any of you Aussies know if I'll be able to pick up a couple of Test tickets cheap?

Cheers

It is when you bat badly.

You're not kidding!

i said earlier in the thread that the aussie's would come good at some point in the series. Shame we weren't two nil up before they won one. Lets see what england have got mentally on boxing day.

Normal service has been resumed

Looked at the score this mornimg, saw england on 140 for 0, thought it was ok, but a little slow for the best part of a day, got to the line that said they were 30 ahead and only then realised the aussies batted first.

This pitch could be horrible to bat on last so we need to get a big first inngs lead, min 200 required. Hopefully we won't have to bat again.

Pieterson gets 50 after Aussies are adamant that he snicked on 49 when no evidence to prove it and pointing was about 3 mins arguing with umpire.

I did exactly the same. I was thinking they must have lost some play or something due to rain, and then i realised we'd skittled them for 98!!

Superb performance by England in this test....totally out classed the convicts.....Aussies are in free-fall now.....hope we hammer them in Sydney as well as this a definate 3-1 series.

WICKET Hilfenhaus c Prior b Bresnan 0 (Aus 258-9)

That's it - start the car! ENGLAND HAVE RETAINED THE ASHES! Hilfenhaus edges a simple catch to Matt Prior for Tim Bresnan's fourth wicket of the innings. The celebrations have begun - let the fun begin... ENGLAND BEAT AUSTRALIA BY AN INNINGS AND 157 RUNS.

Its always good to do them in there back yard !!!!!!!!!!

We now need to finish the job properly and win the series. Funny to see Ponting declare himself not fit for the final game. Sadly the innings defeat may well be the last we see of Ponting in the international game.

5th Test just around the corner, can't wait!

Ditto.

I know i said England would win 2-0, but i'll settle for 3-1

Big toss for us tonight, we want Australia batting last in Sydney, Swann will rip em' apart.

Solid enough start for the aussies.

Bet way now is to make sure we only have to bat once (yet again)

Absolutely, if we can get Hussey and Haddin cheaply tonight I don't see them getting above 200.
Only problem I can see is Strauss' captaincy, he'll bat until we can't lose, unfortunately that may also mean we don't have the time to win.

Can only see a draw at the moment. Which ultimately means a 2-1 series win, what the team wont want is to go out and lose this test and retain the Ashes by default rather than by winning the series.

A draw , a draw ???????????

England are favourites by a mile I reckon. Had a great time watching game live from my friend's sofa in Perth with the fan on as it is 36c here today. Game finished at 3pm here so had a dip in the pool. Life's good LOL

We let the aussies off the hook, about 50 runs too many, if we can get to around 380ish we should be able to win the game.
