***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

The Ashes should have the highest average viewers during the time the series is played I think.

Also can the figure touch 50?! Tough but not impossible.

Clarke and Katich looking a bit uncomfortable at the moment, worrying signs for Australia - and now Jones was incredible close to making it 5/81! Amazing!

Doubt it. The pitch doesn't look all that difficult - apart from a few balls the bounce has been consistent enough, and the level of sideways movement hasn't been anything out of the ordinary. England have exploited the conditions very well though. Australia have scored at a quick rate anyway; they just need to stop getting out.

Looks like a 350 par to me.

The wicket has plenty of bounce, but it seems quite even and isn't swinging anymore really, so I'd think 350+ is what you'd want batting first.

350-400 would be a good score - which would be wanted. Any thing above 400, the batting team has done well. Restricting Australia to less than 350 is some thing England would have settled at once Ponting chose to bat IMO.
