Again, I wonder exactly what Cricket these guys are watching, because it sure isn't the same Cricket I'm watching!

Has the aussie team been announced yet?Seems like Hayden will keep his place,at least I hope so,think he is due for a big one.The Oval has been a slaughterhouse for us,so fingers crossed that we can win the toss and make a big score,so for the first time in this series we are not playing catch up!!I would play Mcgill in tandem with Warnie if it was up to me(which it is not!).Apart from Mcgrath the poms are having no trouble with our pace attack,and Warnies 28 wickets suggest they are vulnerable to quality spin.Taits debut was OK,but not spectacular.I would take the chance and play Stu and Warnie,really think thats our best option.The Oval is usually susceptible to spin on the last few days,and the poms only have Giles.Matty is good against spin,that is his forte,I am really confident he is going to fire in this Test.Might even win the Ashes for us.

Oh, I certainly hope so. PLEASE!!!!

If England win the Ashes, fair dinkum, we'll never hear the end of it. An English sports reporter said the other day that they would probably become England's 3rd most popular sporting team ever, only behind the Soccer World Cup ('66) and Rugby World Cup ('03). I don't know. I reckon they might even be more popular than the Rugby team.

I've already backed the poms at $3.85 (an AMAZING Price) and taken the draw at $2.75 as well. I'm telling you right now, that I will be absolutely delighted if I lose those bets!

As much as I would love for us to win 5th test, i would rate us at 5.50 to do so. Really disappointing to see us carrying on about sub fielders etc. the reality is that we have been outplayed and have only ourselves to blame. Just a thought... what is the point of such a large touring party with so few chances to play?? Would be better to draft in players from county cricket who are match hardened IMO.

Poor old MacGill and Hodge could have been playing county cricket and been getting a good run. Instead, they've hardly got a game.

Aussies to fire up and get it together for me (i hope)!

Although might have a saver as well.

With Simon Jones being ruled out there is talk of replacing him with either Anderson or Collingwood.

I think the Poms should use Anderson.

Why you ask?

Everybody knows Collingwood fails to deliver in September !!!

I still can't work out how Australia are favourites. If anything, the draw should be favourite. Rain is predicted for today, and if England wins the toss and bats well, they'll just bat on and on and probably won't even try to win the game.
