Hopefully our boys stay in form!
I see Eddie Jones has been wielding the axe and using the boot on a few Wallabies.....I must call the RSPCA
The Aussies batting to save a test match? Has the world gone completely insane???
Not to take anything away from England who have completely outplayed them in every department. I think it may be all over for Dizzy.
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!
4am finish this morning.
Not too clever at the coalmines today!
As for Dizzy - they said when he walked off that it may be his last match for Oz!
What a game.........WHAT A GAME!! Your boys never know when to give up, do they!
Shane Warne and Bret Lee were bloody magnificent.
I honestly think that this is the best Ashes series that I have ever seen!
Can't wait for the final test....I dont know whether my nerves can take it though.
Barmy Army..........Barmy Army..........Barmy Army...........Barmy Army.
again....
aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!
On the up side, Parramatta are minor premiers.

Must give credit where it's due Margo. The poms have played bloody well.
How do you explain to an eighteen-year-old that Australia doesn't have the Ashes any more? They've never lived in a world of that shape!
You should have Warne'd them about it long ago.
the ashes are gone bledisloe and tri nations a washout us open down the gurgler whats wrong with the world.
The moment Pietersen got his hundred was when I thought for sure England have won the ashes.
Up and till that moment, if Warney got a hat trick...it was all nerves here I tell you, and round my local hostelry....who were NOT giving away free Fosters Lager which I thought very unsporting of them.

Everything waxes and wanes. England's waxing, Australia's waning. It's the way of the world.
Yay!!!!!
It's been SOOOOOOOOOO boring.
Even more boring than cricket usually is.
Anyhoo, England needed a boost after the bombing.
The Aussie play was certainly boring (with the exception of the spin king). England played the brand of cricket we've come to expect from Australia.
Getting into the Aussie team has been very difficult for a number of years. This may provide the impetus for some fresh blood.
Very funny article in The Independent yesterday from an Aussie journo.
If I might put it like this (speaking as a non-aligned Scot) the Aussies are taking their defeat better than the English are taking their victory. Impressive and long-awaited though it was, I agree.
So............that's the Rugby and now the cricket...what's next? I hear that we are buying lots of those funny little vests, so that we can develop an Aussie rules team.

You can't have a red/white/blue strip or use the nickname "Bulldogs" - they're both taken
British athletes did very well in Athens
Britain won the 2012 games
England won the Rugby World Cup
and the Ashes
only a few months now and David Beckham will lifting
the Jules Remy trophy
.... in Berlin.
We've grown tired of developing all these games, giving them to the world, then allowing the rest of the world to win so as to give them encouragement. We're takin' it all back!
