Can we get this thread back on track please. The match was always favourite to be a draw, given the weather situation. But it still leaves England 1-0 up in the series. Poised, as they say.

Just to confirm, if it's a series draw, the burnt bails go back to Oz?

Drawn series the burnt bails go back to Australia, :biggrin: however a series win is still possible.

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

The idea of even reaching 100 is now beginning to look a little unlikely.

Darth Ponting and his Antipodean Stormtroopers going to even the series here and leave it all to play for at the Oval. When I will be on holiday!

My timing is just so damned impeccable!

Excellent! (said like Mr Burns from the Simpsons...) :twisted:

A first innings lead of 223, and the Poms at 5 for 82... :woot:

The Ashes to be decided in the 5th Test, well scripted somebody... :tup:

All involved in this ignominous and cowardly performance should be flogged and sentenced to transportation.

Fairly evenly poised at stumps, England 8 for 303, Siddle doing some useful bowling...
