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

Absolutely, if we can get Hussey and Haddin cheaply tonight I don't see them getting above 200.
Only problem I can see is Strauss' captaincy, he'll bat until we can't lose, unfortunately that may also mean we don't have the time to win.

| 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.

I thought our bowling was very loose in the overs before lunch: too many down the leg-side. And the field positions were very negative for tail-enders - I'm glad I went to bed and didn't see them knock us for another 50 (or whatever it was), we could really regret that.

Happens with lots of teams, they get to the tail and change the way they bowl. Like Holding/Warne etc said there is no need to change the way you bowl to the tail. But that extra 100 runs and the extra time taken up could prevent us from winning the test.

Yes - mind you, it's been great catching whatever I can of this series and I'll be watching until lunch again tonight.
Whilst it's been good to see a decent Egnland team, it's been great to see Ponting trying to carry that team and fail. Without Warne and McGrath the Aussies are just the same as every other team. For years they've been kidding themselves that their progressive selection process and aggressive batting tactics have made them number one when actually all they did was let those two dig them out of every hole they ever put themselves in. Warne was brilliant and even with a new ball on a new wicket was as good as any spinner today with perfect spinning conditions and McGrath was also very, very special.

While i agree to an extent, you can't knock Ponting, Hayden, Hussey and Gilchrists records. And the Waugh brothers too!

| Alot of people seem to forget to mention the top quality opening batsmen Australia lost in Mathew Hayden and Justin Langer , which IMO is just as vital as Warne and McGrath. I lost count the amount of times they would put on 150 runs for the first wicket.

yeah well... to support my case I just did some figures on Ponting's average test score since the retirement of Warne and McGrath compared to before they retired but unfortunately they didn't support my case so I'm not going to mention them...
so there...
But I'm still right

Agree about Colly, think we should take the decision for him to be honest.
Gotta love beefys rant after the catch incident.
Arise Sir Alastair.

| We've carried Collingwood for the entire series. He should have been left out and replaced by Bresnan after the frst test match, giving us an extra seamer as well as a batsman. Thankfully it hasn't mattered that much
