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

It was a poor error that Strauss dropped the catch, not luck.

But of course he gets away with it because Englands name is on these Ashes.
It was a stroke of luck from Australia's point of view. He gets away with it because Jones was alert to what was going on, not luck.

Where it happened to drop was huge luck.

Proven by the amount of times you ever see that happen. VERY rarely.

To say that wasn't a stroke of luck is ridiculous.

Who cares if it was "lucky"? It was an edge, and a brilliant catch from Jones, and it's not as if Flintoff didn't deserve the wicket.

Real chance of a run-out for Vaughan here, with Ponting attempting to manipulate the strike.
It was the substitute fielder, wasn't it?

Flintoff bowling incredibly well again... :(

How well is Flintoff bowling today, he's been amazing. Not seen him bowl like this ever.

For Vaughan as captain. I wasn't describing past events, but what could be on the cards.

Edit: Er, didn't mean to quote my own post there. Weird.

30 to go!

This is the second absolute all-time classic test match in a row, and the first one was pretty bloody memorable as well. What a series.

Ponting's knock to go down as one of the best in years if he saves it.

Shouldn't have bowled a yorker til the 4th or 5th delivery of the over, always gonna be a single if they got bat on it.

Damn, where the hell is the smilie with the little guy chewing his fingernails off to his elbow!??!

Ponting playing what will surely be a legendary Ashes innings, even if they lose.

I can't believe this innings, it defines extra-ordinary.

He's played and miss a couple of times but my word, he's played well.
