4-31 :). Lee is on fire taken all 3 wickets sofar today. If england lose another wicket or 2 before lunch the game is over.

5-73 :). Pietersen is out unlucky but should of been out 1st ball. Going to be hard for england to win from here unless flintoff makes a big hundread.

Don't think so. They're already 173 in front. The highest 4th innings score to win at Edgebaston is only 211, I think.

Yes maybe sportz but your going on 5days tests lol. It could be over in the 3rd day.

A bit carried away in hindsight perhaps.

M.Slater reckons they held a team meeting immediately after the game yesterday to address some problems - good.

If they can restrict the Poms to 200 - 250, they could perform worse than they did in the first innings and crawl over the line.

Whether this turns out to be the case, well we'll have to wait and see. If they don't i think some players may need a short sideline spell to allow them to re-organise their priorities.

Poms all out 182

Aust need 282 to win in 2 days + 1.25 sessions.

Very do-able !!!!

Ever the optimist, Jack.

As I said, nobody's got much more than 200 in the 4th innings to win at this ground and I didn't think it would happen here either.

You guys will have to face it. This England team aren't the easybeats of the past, and we're not unbeatable champions any more. As much as I can't stand the thought of it, England are a definite chance of winning the Ashes this year. No McGrath for the next game either.

Australia finished off day 3 at 175/8. Needing 107 to win.

Winning looks pretty unlikely now. :(

Warne is on 20 with only Lee and Kasprowicz to come, I think the Aussies are done for.

Only 'pretty unlikely'??? Geez, you sure ARE optimistic!!!

Ok so the Ashes series is leveled at 1-1. :(

The refusal of Billy Bowden to raise the finger and award that LBW decision to Brett Lee is the worst umpiring decision EVER. :mad:

Not that it will have any real bearing on the outcome of the match. Australia's poor batting in both innings is what's letting us down.
