God damn rain.
Off...
feck rain stopped play
Covers actually are coming off now paul.
covers are off now , should restart within 10 mins
LOL yes ,they put then back after I saw them come off.
some very poor bowling out there
Great support from the Barmy Army. Smith & Siddle look solid so far, but I reckon Swann will break the partnership soon (I hope)
new ball is due soon , so expect it to finish not to long after they take that.
Siddle is playing very well , putting the top order batsmen to shame at the moment
Jimmy will wreck them with a new ball.
Not commented in here for a while as got a job after the 2nd test so been a bit busy but still managed to see a fair chunk of it all. Been on 4 hours sleep for this test, feeling it now but worth it!
Hope we do them by 1am tho!

Siddle gone!!! 2 to go, hopefully won't take long.
2 to go:victorydance:
who needs the new ball ,excellent knock from Siddle
Defining moment of the series?
Siddle impressed me this series, both with bat and ball.
He can be one the 3 Aussie players who can say they did something useful this series to help Australia (Hussey & Haddin the others, Watson misses imo out as he once again failed to convert a start to a big score).
at the big lad singingI can see there point in moving Siddle up the batting , with more experience he would make an excellent middle order batter and get quite a few runs.
Can see him becoming a very good all rounder
new ball , these 2 wont last long
New ball taken and the Hilf is gone as well. Start the car, this one is almost over....
Defining moment of the series?
There's been a few to be fair. Trott running out katich followed by ponting and Clarke out before Aussies had gone past 2 at Adelaide stands out.
WICKET!
just one needed now
50 for Smith, well played.
Excellent 50 by Smith
Can we not have Colly and Cook bowl at them?
Finally, all over. England win by an innings and 83 runs. They retain the Ashes with a 3-1 series win
Well Done England excellent Ashes win
Thank christ that shit is over.
Well deserved win for england, fecking flogged.
Well done to Paul Collingwood as well.

I haven't seen Ponting on the field congratulating England, if that is the case that is pathetic from him.
Put that Beer away and open the champagne!
3 wins in a 5 Test series all won by an innings , what a fantastic way to win the Ashes in Australia
he is not even going to present the Urn to England , it is being done by Vaughan
That's a shame, one of the great batters of all time but he really lets himself down at times.
I agree , I like Ponting think he is a good player and has been an excellent captain , just maybe gone on a bit to long
