    After a North century, and a massive lead of 340 the Poms have collapsed again and are 5 for 82. Hillfy nabbing 2 wickets and Johnson 3. It shouldn't take long to wrap this up.
    Fantastic comeback from the Aussies. Great stuff. The world had wrote them off before this test.

    Hopefully the Dogs can learn something from the Aussie cricket team and give a great account of themselves next Saturday night.

      Haha this Test is going to be over in 2 and a half days.

      The 5th test will be an Australian winn aswell and the many faults that the Aussies still have will be swept under the carpet.

        I think if anyone knows about injuries it would be Watson.

          Watson averaged 52 with the bat and 15 with the ball in his shortened shield season so he had some pretty good performances to back up his selection.

            Great thing is we don't have to endure ''stand up if you're one nil up'' anymore

              Let's say somehow we retain the Ashes - We beat SA in SA and retain the Ashes without him. He's approaching mid 30's and getting injuries. Is that the end, or perhaps wishful thinking considering the selection policy of picking Ricky's friends first?
              What's this "we" business?

              I thought you went over to the other side?

                  I thought i said 'nearly' supporting the other side

                  Although i'm still upset by the selections and non-selections truth be told.
