Superb performance by England in this test....totally out classed the convicts.....Aussies are in free-fall now.....hope we hammer them in Sydney as well as this a definate 3-1 series.

WICKET Hilfenhaus c Prior b Bresnan 0 (Aus 258-9)

That's it - start the car! ENGLAND HAVE RETAINED THE ASHES! Hilfenhaus edges a simple catch to Matt Prior for Tim Bresnan's fourth wicket of the innings. The celebrations have begun - let the fun begin... ENGLAND BEAT AUSTRALIA BY AN INNINGS AND 157 RUNS.

Its always good to do them in there back yard !!!!!!!!!!

5th Test just around the corner, can't wait!

Ditto.

I know i said England would win 2-0, but i'll settle for 3-1

Big toss for us tonight, we want Australia batting last in Sydney, Swann will rip em' apart.

Solid enough start for the aussies.

Bet way now is to make sure we only have to bat once (yet again)

Can only see a draw at the moment. Which ultimately means a 2-1 series win, what the team wont want is to go out and lose this test and retain the Ashes by default rather than by winning the series.

A draw , a draw ???????????

England are favourites by a mile I reckon. Had a great time watching game live from my friend's sofa in Perth with the fan on as it is 36c here today. Game finished at 3pm here so had a dip in the pool. Life's good LOL

We let the aussies off the hook, about 50 runs too many, if we can get to around 380ish we should be able to win the game.

Highlight of the night was bumble going on about the Hoff when he turned up
