My predictions were based on the assumption that the "getting out shot" would be staying in the box.
Intriguing, intriguing.

Err yeah, okay. Because Australia scoring 200 odd with 7 wickets in hand was really implausible, wasn't it?Shane Warne said:

And another Aus gives his wicket away.
Couldnt believe that Vaughan would actually give Hoggard a bowl at this stage (Flintoff must be injured), He serves up a half volley and Martyn says "no, that's crap, I'll hit it to mid-wicket rather than for 4 as Ive done thousands of times before."
Absolute rubbish from Martyn for the second time in the match.

Heh. Wasn't T_C the guy who predicted Katich to get a mass of runs this series? England haven't won yet...

Giles has been pathetic so far in this innings, Flintoff should be on in 10-15 minutes.

Glad to see you're a brilliant selector as well a prophet. Dropping Australia's best batsman in the last 12 months is inspired stuff.Shane Warne said:

The game's not over yet. Pedro's prediction that Gilchrist might end up being the matchwinner may still end up being true. I certainly hope so.
Generally though, I would have thought that the majority of the time, any team chasing nearly three hundred in the fourth innings of a test match is going to struggle, and at least have the odds against them. I would make allowances for Australia being a champion team, but the way they've batted so far in the series didn't inspire a huge amount of confidence. Still England 70/30 for me.
And I don't know why you all take Shane Warne's trolling so seriously. He cracks the odd funny here and there, there's no reason to get so worked up about it all.

I don't troll. I spread knowledge and present facts.
