True, but the Aussies are returning the favour as ours is standing at 16 currently :-) & we are at 261-3

& you gotta love the Aussie press :-)



At least that goes someway to recovering from that 5-0 pommy wash some time ago

Not a bad guess Rob 391-9 :-)

As for a 2nd 60-10, no chance they're 21-0 atm :-(

At the close of play, it's 241-7, 90 runs behind with 3 wickets remaining. Ben Stokes steps up to the plate with 5-35.

Carry on tomorrow morning & the Ashes will be regained by lunch :-)

England on verge

All over before lunch :-) The little urn comes home 3-1 in series & Clarke to retire from international cricket after the last Test.

Wood Stokes Broad Finn so that comment on the BBC yesterday makes sense "Jimmy who?" :-)

Very surprised at Australia.

I think it'll end up 4-1 Glenn. What I meant about being surprised was I thought I had deja-vu this series, thought I was watching England's past.

Or 3-2, but congratz on winning the series chaps and I bet Clarky is now kicking himself for going in to bat 1st in the 3rd test (an amateurs mistake that was).

Cheers.

Spose i better be a good sport and say congrate's for winning the Ashes back .

Poor Clarkey 1 mistake and it's all over , mind you he hasn't been that good of late with the bat but hopefully he can go out in the last game of his career with a century on the board let's hope .

Not quite Glenn, just showing surprise, especially as they are now 481-10, that they did not play anything like that in the 4 previous test matches.

It still doesn't take away the fact that we have the Ashes :-)

Has the rain stoped yet . you may still win this one with a bit of help for the man upstairs .
I turn the tv over to look at the boards so I haven't checked if they have gone back out to play and weather the rain has stopped .

Also sounds like your saying the English team don't care , does that mean you have thrown the game ??

mmm maybe we need to look into this !!!! match fixing , where's Mervyn Westfield he hasn't been seen anywhere near the team has he !!!!!

Shock horror how did that happen . Channel 9 's wide world of sports is no longer the king of Cricket broadcasting anymore .

I bet Kerry Packer is rolling in his grave about how his empire has fallen so low .
