Of course there was another batting collapse. How foolish of me to think, that at 84-0, we were headed fro a comfortable 7 or 8 wicket win. Now the stage is set for Brad Haddin to show he is still deserving of his test spot, but also for Ashton Agar to write his name in the history books forever and become a cricket legend, in only his first test match. Personally I can see this coming down to the last wicket to decide the match, so let's hope that Siddle, Starc and Patto don't all knick off straight away this time.

In reality, we only need each player in the tail to score like, 25 each and we'll win. Doable, right?

As for nige, sure, bring up and incident from 5 years ago to try and distract from the issue in this test match..Even if it has no relevance. Cool beans.

Did you not watch it? It's relevant. People are crying foul when Broad and Dar supposedly made the wrong decisions in not walking and not giving it out respectively, yet people forget and/or don't care that Symonds and Clarke didn't walk despite being clearly out. In fact, that Clarke wicket is very similar to the Broad one. ???

Yes, I get this is England vs Australia. Yes, I understand it is 'un-Australian' not to support the national cricket team, but I like to watch cricket without unnecessary spite. Broad should have walked, Dar should have given it out, but neither deserve to be vilified the way they have been. If Australia wins, I would like to see how the incident is 'remembered' or if Australia loses, how it's made the main reason for the loss.

Couldnt keep my eyes open last night so i listened to the radio in bed, just as i fell asleep Cowan was out, waking us this morning i was hoping at worst we were 4/180, but 6 for 185! Get on your bike Cowan, and im not being an idiot but we need Ponting or Hussey because Clarke injured, we had such a flowering big chance with Rogers and Watto going then we collpase a flowering again!

Yep, and we know how that ended. Steve Harmison finishing off Michael Kasprowicz! Crazy ending that. 8)

I think it's going to be a very exciting and interesting final day. Can't wait!  :D

We only need 1 good partnership, both Siddle and Pato are capable but it doesn't look good
