Ashes

It's getting closer but there's still work to do.

We'll still have to bat 65 overs or so tomorrow to see them off and anything is possible with that poxy Warne bloke. Could someone please put him on the night flight back to Melbourne this evening please!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know whether to throw in a sick day tomorrow or not. My blood pressure might be through the roof if I do.

it would need to be something special for the aussies to bowl us out with only one dangerous bowler and still have time to score the runs needed. Long gone are the days of total England collapse (i hope)
Todays no play has ended aussie hopes methinks, it should be ours now.....please,please,please

England are well in the box seat but it's still not won.

There are 98 overs in the day. If they bowl us out in about 58 overs tomorrow which is possible, certainly with Warne around, then they would be chasing about 240-260 after tea with around 37 overs to do it.

That's infinitely possible.

England have to bat until after tea. I think they will do that but as I said before anything is possible with Mr. Warne about.

I hope England don't think too much about what they could achieve as pressure is often self induced and it's the pressure tomorrow that will make or break them.

As one Australian wag put it today then "it aint over until the fat man spins".

I decided to take that sickie. Don't know if I've done the right thing as I'm usually a curse.

I still think there's a twist in this game yet and I don't think it will just fizzle out to be a tame draw.

I hope I'm wrong as my blood pressure can't take much more of this.

McGrath two in two ! must say Bell has disappointed me in this series, thought he'd do much better than he has. Trescothic is the main man now, he needs to bat through for England to get that draw. like you,Eduardo, not sure the health will hold out today, permanently sweating and going to the loo !!

[eduardo]

I knew I should have gone to work as I am climbing the fucking walls here.

At 127-5 England are right in the brown smelly stuff and with 72 overs left the Aussies have a great chance to win now and should go on to do so.

Bollocks!!!!!!!

i'm very scared, I still think we'll hold on... just

[Hitman]

Pieterson is all guns blazing!! ... hitting the ball to all parts and England are firing back.. and good support from Collingwood... its game on!!!

Aussies have had a few drop catches... Every run is cheered by the crowd..and I bet at home as well in the UK!!

Barmy Army in full song!!!
