No shortage of irony there. His team gave birth to the "ugly Australian" image.

It's still a looooong shot.
But having ripped into the Aussies yesterday I have to admire the fact that they're going down fighting.

Why does it make a difference?

I agree. Keep England under 350, score 420 2nd dig and leave England to chase 170.
Lot of hard work to do but certainly not out of it. Long way to go. If England get 400 (which has to be their target,) I think it is a bridge too far.

Could just replace him with someone from the Barmy Army. Or Monty.

Because 5 is higher in the order than 6

I always thought before this series, for us to win we would need to pull off at least one miraculous win. Hopefully this can be it. Not holding my breath

Norwood's on Fire
I love Colly. He's a player I can imagine myself telling my grandsons (should I have some) about in years to come. I think he should move aside after this series whilst my memories are fond. He has done far more than we could have expected from him come 03 (hence his selection still being wrong in some eyes) and given us lots of great innings. We probably wouldn't have won the Ashes last year and drawn in South Africa without him. He's a legend, but it's time to go, I think.
Not sure Morgan's the answer, but we'll see.

CBF looking at other responses, but **** me Ponting and Siddle were complete wankers, at least Siddle is partly redeemed by just being a captains bitch and bowling okay.
Lose this, cant win the ashes, + Pontings 15 run average and today performance. Doesn't look pretty.

Pure stubborness from the England management.
The strange thing is that Bell isn't particularly accomplished at playing with the tail, he's a proper batsmen.
The irony is in the fact that Collingwood built his reputation on manipulating the field in odis and shepharding the tail in test matches.
