Fantastic shot mate. Simply fantastic

I take it you were there?

[HotSauce]

All 5 days mate.

Amazing stuff!

[Los Rojos]

must win for us in perth. IF we win that, and it's a big if with our impotent attack, then it's game on again. obviously a drawn series would be good enough for us, but even that seems a long way off now.

What do you reckon for team changes before the next test?

Out

Jones
Giles
Anderson/ Harmison

In

Read
Panesar
Mahmood

I can't see 3 in, 3 out myself but there has to be changes, both in personnel and tactically.

You lucky prick

[Beachy]

All Over

Man of the Match must be Ashley Giles. He did more for an Aussie win than any of the Australians

His dropped catch changed the match. If he takes Ponting there, England win. I don't think there's much doubt about that.

Funny that he's being picked for his batting when I'd have thought his primary ability (which is meant to be bowling) would be more important

If Panesar was picked, England go much much closer to winning IMO

Aren't you Welsh?

Just send them all home right now. They are finished and will only serve to embarrass our nation further. That was pathetic.

[kopdan]

to be fair, if you take Warne out of the equation, you see a much better situation.

Warne on the 5th day on any turning pitch spells trouble.

Had that been England in the situation, could you imagine Giles doing what Shane did?

[Beachy]

He'd have to start turning the ball first.

[Los Rojos]

yeah

Fletcher played it safe. Didnt work

drop Giles

Play Monty

[Bob]

yeah

England and Wales Cricket Board

Go figure

I know your scraping the barrell for successes down there, but really.

Anyhow,

No team in history has lost after declaring on a higher total than England's 551-6 batting first in a Test.

drop Giles

Play Monty

Obvious ain't it.

[kopdan]

Bob = Est1892's own Lisa Simpson

To be fair, anyone would have struggled against Warne on a day 5 pitch like that.
