I'm still so nervous watching this, missed the wickets after working till nearly 4am last night.

Great start but we can't rest, still 8 wickets to get, if it was 120-9 I'd be fairly confident but still a lot of cricket to be played.

Don't think even we can mess this up now but as I said last night the key wickets will be Katich, Ponting and Clarke, 1 down, 2 to go.

I'm watching 'em get thumped in High Definition.

The weirdest thing, the engineer came to the flat yesterday to install; he was a scouser so I asked him "red or blue ?"

"Blackburn Rovers" came back the reply "Jack Walker Upper season ticket holder"

Bloody hell eh ? If you post on here stick your hand up mate ! :D

Good session for England, all about patience, got to keep bowling in the right areas and the wickets will come. I don't know why but have a feeling that Harmison could get some wickets this afternoon.

If you can't bowl them out let's just get them all run out boys,

Pretty shocking after how well Australia have battled, full credit to them for that, that they now start getting silly run outs.

And as I've been banging on about the key wickets of Ponting, Katich and Clarke I'm glad to see them all gone.

Game over now, England surely can't do anything but win now and bring home the ashes, happy days!!

And Clarke too.

Good...I need some sleep.

Funny thing is..I didn't mind losing in 2005. It was a great series played in a great spirit and England were deserving winners with a great bowling attack.

This time..our batsman have scored more runs and our bowlers have taken more wickets... but we've lost the series.

Something ain't right...and Ponting has lost 3 of his last 5 series as captain.

Stats are nice but don't mean a lot most of the time.

One example is Flintoff who has undoubtedly been a fantastic test cricketer for what he has given England in all departments be it batting, bowling, catching, run outs ;), prescence, character - I could go on, but look at his test stats and they are not overly impressive.

You can head all the stat charts in the world but the only one that matters is the score.

Not counting my chickens just yet but the shells are starting to crack!

Prior has definitely improved as a wicket keeper.

He's looking like the best all round wicket keeper we've had since Stewart over the course of this series, runs with the bat and can't think of too many chances he's put down. Certainly not easy one anyway, perhaps there was one in the series, seems to be a vague memory of one in my head. Could have been a one dayer or another series though.
