I'm so tempted to go to bed, but I'm too full of adrenaline, not to mention tea, to even contemplate it.

CW keeps going down for me. So dissapointed Haydos got out. Hussey is a gun.

Top cricket.

Yeah, this is the first time in about 15 mins I've been able to get on. Australia really getting on top now, England need another wicket within the next three overs.

Geez CW is crap at the moment.

That late cut from Ponting was absolutely gorgeous. Hard to see Australia failing to make this total with these two at the crease, they're just in such superb touch. Great decision to promote Hussey rather than Gilchrist, as Australia weren't really in the need of quick runs so much as a steady presence. Gilchrist may come in next to try and finish it off, as Martyn doens't look ready really.

England in need of another wicket. Not even Giles seems to be able to keep it quiet.

 

[Dravid]

Highly doubt England will win now, unless they get two quick wickets here.

 

[pasag]

Do you all realise you all say the same thing for a whole page, then come back and say the same thing for another whole page?

Killjoy.

Cruisin' along here. Gee, CW picks the worst time to go downtown.

 

[Nate]

Ponting and Hussey bat so well together.

 

[Johnners]

How seriously awesome are the 2 Batsmen at the crease. Ponting, simply the best, and Hussey who has gotta in the top 5 of all Batsmen in the world ATM. Unless England get both of these before Australia brings up 100 they've got little chance of saving the match imo.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Giles is no longer capable of holding down one end while the seamers rotate - he can't be relied upon not to leak runs, and he can't be relied upon to take wickets. As much as I love him, the time has come for him to go.

 

[Nate]

Didn`t see any reverse-sweeps off Warne.

 

[Nate]

Anderson can make or break this.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Through the slips. I almost cried when that one didn't go to hand.

 

[pasag]

Brilliant stuff. This is the last we will see of Anderson this series I reckon.

Tipping break from an English perspective.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Brilliant stuff. This is the last we will see of Anderson this series I reckon.

It better be, unless he takes wickets. Did more with the bat in the first innings than he has with the ball all series. This is his big chance, though.

 

[Nate]

As an aside, I have never been so nervous about a cricket match I`m not playing in. Every edge I absolutely freak out about. Stupid game.

 

[Arrow]

Giles is totally useless. No penetration at all. Well done on England for losing an unlosable test, and the ashes to go with it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Anderson's created a chance and Ponting nearly bobbed one up on the leg side just then. Looked alright so far, I'd say.

Haha yeah. Like I said earlier, I hate cricket.
