England will be pretty upset, working so hard the entire day and it all coming apart right at the end. If at any stage of this series I've felt for them, this is it. Warne is a machine though, to bowl 31 overs in that heat is unbelievable. I wouldn't even be able to walk down to the supermarket in those conditions...
Cook though, what a knock, that kid has a real future.

They did have some injuries to key bowlers though.

I thought Bell and Cook played brilliant today. OK Bell will be dissapointed to fall 13 short of his century. And Cook would have been frustrated not to go on into tomorrow. ( I haven't seen the wickets yet so Im going on what I saw in the morning session and the scorecard). England will be slightly frustrated to lose in form Collingwood aswell. However. Flintoff and Jones owe England some runs.
Prediction - England cannot afford to lose any early wickets. Flintoff and Pietersen need to build a big partnership and Jones needs to dig deep to pull a big innings out of his locker. THe draw is probably the most unlikely result. Whichever 2 out of Flintoff , Pietersen and Jones are at the crease they will score quickly. And if they are still there then the 300 is in sight. But can they contain Warne and McGrath for a whole day. With the current ball new and the third new ball coming late on in the day. England need some special performances.

England clearly the #2 team IMO, even if they lose 5-0. Their ranking is based on very solid performances home and away for the last several years.

Hoggard's batting has seriously regressed over the last year or two. He should be demoted to no 11 and told to get his act sorted out
