The Ashes was lost the moment Strauss got himself a duck trying to cut. I can see this series ending up 2-0 or 2-1 to the Crims. I expect Punter and Hussey to get shiteloads of runs.
Hussey gone for 195. He and Haddin put on 300 odd and the Crims have a lead of 200. Mitchell Johnson gone! Crims are 463/8. Aussie,Aussie,Aussie…oi,oi,oi!!
Great stuff from the Poms. They have batted themselves to a draw. The Crims new ball attack not looking all that dangerous. Good to see Cook moving his feet and scoring some runs. The Poms lead by 88 with 9 wickets in hand at stumps on Day 4. I hope the Poms just bat through Day 5 and destroy the Crim bowlers confidence.
Looking good for England! Actually, I don’t give a fuck who wins, as long as it’s not the Crims who cry like little girls. Ponting weeping is, like, better than any midget porn that I’ve EVER seen!
KP closing in on a double ton…kiss of death please.
Poms have a lead of 265. I think I might find a stream of the game just so I can catch a glimpse of Punters sour expression :discodance:
Great watching Petersen batting like this, double century beckoning-then I reckon he’d have to go on and get a new high score (224 was previous test HS). But he must be tired by now, he really moves around and it’s hot out there. With 524/4 and 44 overs left, England should aim to bat 30 and bowl 10-and 30* 4 runs an over would get them to 600-650 or so, and a lead of 350-400. Let’s see.

Thanks mate. Shame about the rain. Hope it doesn’t hurt the Poms chances of a result.
