Hmmm ... at stumps, Australia now lead by 200 runs with seven wickets in hand. And to think one bookie has already paid out on England retaining the Ashes. :eddy:

I warned you about those fucking Aussie's they do roll over, that's what Dad told me in WW11 and I think it is true. The cunts.

5 lovely wickets, and still over 300 behind...

Always nice to get a wicket with the last ball of the day, too... :tup:

A rather solid win, in the end, bowling and fielding starting to jell...

Boxing Day test in old Melbourne town, with momentum going our way...

Bring it on!

"Normal service has been resumed"

Lucky for England that the next two pitches won't be anything like that. :tea:

My office is only about 300 metres from the WACA, visible from my window. When I'm at work it's not necessary to keep score on the web, radio or tele, it can count the fall of wickets but the cheers that permeate my office window.

I suspect this is more than a blip - we're back! :cheers:
