England are shit....i dont know how they won last year

As usual,they shit themselves and collapse...they DESERVE to lose 3 : 0

They should have played Monty Panasar instead of Giles IMO..much better bowler

^ 5-0 even.

Damien Martyn retires!

Well that's come as a surprise! Sure he hasn't been playing great recently but I thought he still had a bit of a future ahead of him, at least till the end of the series.

This is what he wants though, so good luck too him in his future endeavors

Someone would've tapped him on the shoulder and told him Clarke was in when Watson was fit. So I guess Watson is fit.

Pretty boring day of cricket but the Poms have done well today.

Knocking over the night watchman in short order tonight will save some time tomorrow, and Flintoff almost followed him!

Should be a good day tomorrow! And while I'd love for us to win, I sort of hope England can pull off a draw (not a win ), at least then the boxing day test will mean something.

True, I want to see an alive test at the G when I go for a few days, as well as see us take the Ashes with a win there. It would be good stuff.

[Leighton]

If it weren't for McGrath yesterday you might've got that wish.

Looks like all will be set right in the world today. I don't think we've been as dominating as the scoreline suggests, but when we have been on top we've been able to take enough advantage. Ponting will love to wrap it up today so he can bat for 3 days between Xmas and NYE.

[Danallica]

That was awesome watching Gilly go to town, that over against Panasar was nuts.

We should rap it up today, hopefully we take it 5-0, Ponting would be the first ever captain to do that against Engalnd.

[Danallica]

All over, the ashes are back where they belong, lets go for 5-0 now

[Fadingtoblack]

Great performance by the Aussies to take back the Ashes today with another crappy collapse of England's middle order.

I seriously thought England were going to win this one when Flintoff started going for it, and I think the Aussies did too, it would've made for a more exciting test at the G, but at least we have Warnie's 700th Wicket to look forward to. That is going to be MASSIVE
