Fantastic effort alround we just need to drill home our advantage on day 2 with the bat and the wacka performance will prove to be the blip we thought it was.
How good is it to see an Aussie batting line up with the spine of a soggy kit-kat?

Aye, not sure how that could have gone any better, brilliant comeback from the last test. Aussie press will be interesting in the morning

not an ideal start, but we are still 72 ahead for 2, which you'd take.

Another great day for us ,hopefully we'll get the win and then for the last test i'd like to see Morgan in for Collingwood.

Ponting was not happy with that referral was he, couldn't happen to a nicer fella.

They don't like it up 'em Trotty lad....

It's a good job they don't issue cards in Cricket mate, of he would have been off. Bumble made the point for me when he said "even when an umpire is wrong he's right" and "it's completely against the spirit of the game".

Ponting is a desparate man, clutching at straws. He's made next to no runs in the series and will be the first man to lose three Ashes series in over 100 years. That's quite some epitaph...

He's the pantomime villain, but it was footballeresque.

I understand there is probably the match, the ashes, his captaincy and his international career hanging by a thread, but he was bang out of order, I can only assume his mood only darkened with the trott run out and prior being out off a no ball

I'll give it one more day (just to make sure) and then I'll resurrect the "How to pi[is[/is Off an Australian" post on my blog, it still gets lots of hits from them more so when I mention that actually, 90% of British people don't actually give a flying fook about cricket but its nice that we can still give the Aussies a lesson in how to play the game whenever we can be d.

A few of my mates are out there and having a great time - sadly the number of match going aussies to bait is diminishing fast

Not surprising mate when they win they are the biggest gob-sh#*es around and when the tables turn they vanish.
Great to see Ponting losing the plot before he signs on.

I get about 20 new hits a week from australian addresses on that blog site well over a year after I wrote that post, someone is linking to it somewhere but none of those hits have left a comment yet, I'm assuming they all agree with me
