To quote a bloke from earlier, "here's hoping"...

Ponting's not going to be pleased if England get a bat on the first day...

NOT for the first time in his illustrious and fraught career Mike Hussey held the Australian innings together.

Ultimately, it proved to be a fruitless task but the left-hander cannot be blamed for that. Had his colleagues played half as well, the position would not be as perilous. As it stands, Australia's troubles deepened. Hussey apart, they were outplayed.

Indeed, this day might prove to be as decisive as the fifth day of the previous Test between these teams played on this ground. Then England collapsed in a nervous pile on the final afternoon thereby presented their opponents with a 2-0 lead. That was a different England, less disciplined or as fit or as intelligently led. Watching Andrew Strauss' side, the feeling grows that although they might be beaten they will not assist in their own downfall.

By the look of things, the same cannot be said of Australia.

It was a cunning plan to give the Aussies hope...

What, waste time canoodling when the Ashes are on?

SMF and Hen are already cricket widows...

Massive innings from the boys yesterday, (2-317) only interrupted when a storm of biblical proportions ripped through Canberra.

How about this scenario Sean

Gabba; Draw.
Adelaide; Poms hammer Aussies.
WACA; Draw
MCG; Narrow win to Aus.
SCG; all to play for...

Good start to the day, with half a dozen off the first brace of overs.

That'll get them scrabbling for their stats books. When is the last time that two different England batsmen scored double centuries in consecutive tests?

Personally I think the Aussies will be playing for pride by the time they reach the SCG... :D
