the aussies are a phenominal force, but they are not used to be in situations like this........they dont like it, so they are nervous. and cant handle it
i just hope that dam uk weather dosnt play apart
i have to say im really impressd with simon jones this series, he has really shown his full potential, and has show his ability to swing the ball (at ease) he is also handy with the bat so id like to see him a few places higher in the batting order |

I'm only worried about the fitness of Jones & Hoggard. Harmison can take some stick, and the aussies know that, and if hoggy & jonesey aren't fit, then that leaves even more pressure on freddie. We'll see, but I hope we can wrap the tail up asap. |

| We've recovered a bit, at least it looks like England will have to bat again. Fingers crossed we can give you guys 150 to 200 to chase. At least that would be a contest. |

I nearly did last night, then i thought 'nah it can wait' cos I was about to goto bed. It's funny tho, and Brett being who he is took it well, Dizzy would've probably given him an adelaide welcome :p |

| WTF was up with Ponting getting mad at England for him being run out by a substitute fielder? Personally, I would have thought quick risky singles probably weren't really called for 200 down and following on. |

cos the sub wasn't on the players list, and had been on the ground for a very long time. I think theres some sort of limit (or at least just like a gentlemans agreement) as to how long a players thats not part of the team can stay on. |

| he got pissed off because england are using the new rules where the home side can use 37 players but the away team gets stuck with the traditional 12. anyway :p england is officially batting again, but now clarke is gone... :nervous: |

| If England need circa 50, Australia must give Tait the ball to open with Lee at the other end. Don't give Kasper the new ball to open, let the future of the AUssie attack get used to the reality in 2 years time. |

tbh, our tv could only prove the inside edge after 20 odd minutes of working in the studio with different tools to enhance sound and picture, the umpire only gets one chance. My dad is an umpire at a pretty high level (2 grades below test match, 1 below first class) and has done some england women games before & does a lot of games for ages 10-19 and he said that on both, he could see that he may have given at least one of the two out in real time. We just have to trust these guys to make decisions what even themselves out over a period of time. |
you must be talking about the ponting one right....both of martyns could've been spotted from the moon |
