I think that even I would be able to score runs on this pitch. Its like a bloody road out there. I bat 11 by the way.

Had a dream that we lost this test but won the series 3-1 last night.
Well the first day definately belonged to Australia and they'll be looking to bat through today as well. Your dream could come true yet.

It looked very even, with little or no help for the bowlers. One big difference today was the Australians actually thinking about their shots instead of just waving the bat around and getting themselves out.

Surely we can`t win it from here? Rain = draw.

Start doing the rain dances. An awful start for England.

The rain gods have done their job and the Ashes are retained. A bit of a crap way to do it, but I'll take it because I can see Australia improving over the next two tests and the series in the winter is going to be a total different scenario.

Is the weather going to prevent US from winning the fourth test?

That was just amazing. That has to go down as one of the best comebacks in test match history. Nine wickets going in one session when at tea australia looked to be grinding their way to victory with a great start and only one wicket down.

Anyone going to see the Aussies against the Lions at the County Ground?
Should be a good match.

Baffling team selection from England in this game. Should be grinding them into the dirt not using it as a chance to blood the youngsters.

I would have thought that in the modern era that even unfashionable Northants would get a few more selections. Remember David Sales and Mal Loye scoring a ridiculous number of runs in the 90`s just to be overlooked time and again. "lets give Graeme Hick another go, he might get some runs this test". Ham and Egg/ Surrey loving buffoons.

That's why I love Northants...and care little (though not as little as I said after ales in York!) for the Ashes and England! Need to take advantage of the early Powerplay if you ask me! Rain= WIN!

Coincidently, bumped into an Aussie in Belgium a couple of months back, whilst there for the rained off Netherlands v Northants game...In Ghent...Doc Carl Kennedy!
