Hope I'm wrong, but judging from what I've seen on the Cricinfo scores website, it looks like McGrath is probably out. They still have the whole squad listed for Australia, but they've just moved Kasprowicsz up into the first 11 places instead of McGrath.

Yep. He's out and we've lost the toss. England are definitely the value with no McGrath there.

Unfortunately, it's all going just as I thought it would. We're stuffed!

Geez, how hard can it be to bowl with your foot behind the damn line!!!

looks a draw to me..i could score a hundred on that wicket...
no excuses for the no balls..thats just pathetic....
seems weird to me they'd prepare a wicket like that with their pace attack on fire..seems the gambled on winning the toss and it worked..

Well, a pretty good comeback there, mainly thanks to Tait. 4/229 isn't too bad for Australia. Depends how much rain is around for the rest of the game now.

Should be better then 4/229. 2 dropped catches could have had england in big trouble. no excuses for the no balls and dropped catches. 3 missed chances and alot of free runs england should buy the aussies a beer they should have been 8 or 9 down if not all out for 200.

The roles are reversed. Bowling no balls, sloppy fielding, dropped catches, poor running between wickets. Those sorts of things used to be the reason why England were so far behind us. Now it's our problem!!!

How much has very poor umpire decisions cost the aussies? Flintoff was LBW for 8 and jones just caught behind both not given out .

Goodbye Ashes.
