    Let's not forget Colly getting Hussey out in the first innings in Sydney. He is a real loss, and I don't think that's understood right now. He's our best fielder, gets runs and gets the odd wicket. To be honest, I think he retired early

    England definitely have the better bowling attack, and Swann is one of the best spinners around. More importantly they act as a unit. Englands batting has been the worry, even last summer. I'm looking forward to seeing whether Australia's bowling is plain awful or England have learnt how to bat...

    This. Two of the three best teams in the world - what's not to like!

    Great to see so many Albion fans at the SCG yesterday. Must have seen at least ten Albion fans.

    If we can get them out by lunch tomorrow & bat well, we'll win this. Thursday is now the only day they're predicting prolonged rain... and we've beaten Australia in 3 1/2 days twice already this series

    Australia are going to struggle to hit 200 by the end of the day at this rate. They need to win to level the series for goodness sake.

    If KP can successfully cut loose (especially against Johnson) he'll completely take the game away from Australia - even more than it already is. A ton from 150 balls & we'll get 400-500 & just under 3 days to bowl the Ozzies out

    Am I the only person who actually quite likes Siddle. He's pig ugly, but he runs in all day with a smile on his face & when he's batting he seems to enjoy it. That moment in Adelaide when he was batting & the ball his stumps but didn't dislodge his bails was priceless. He was laughing out...

    Erm... They had two good days in Brisbane, we had three. We dicked them in Adelaide, they dicked us in Perth. It's been more even than the media (on both sides of the world) have given credit for. The momentum was with Australia going into this test, which makes Englands performance even more...

    We'll do well to get within 50 of their score now. This is where the imbalance of our side is going to show. Would have been nice to have Broady coming in after Prior, but our tail is much longer now

    Anyone see the Albion shirt in the background when Straussy celebrated his 50? Clear as day it was

    The last wicket stand the Ozzies had reminded me of England a few years back when we were shit. Turned a REALLY shit score to just a shit score - kidding the public into thinking they're still in this. Of course, the fact that tailenders are making half-centuries suggests it's a decent pitch...

    Well England banged it in short to Hughes when he was England & it got him out repeatedly, and he dropped by the Ozzies. He's the one batsman who we should bang it in short too. The WACA is a ground where bowlers don't need to bang it in short... it will bounce on a length - so it's line &...

    Interesting to see whether Flower will go with Bresnan or Tremlett. Tremlett may offer the bigger threat, but a tail of Anderson, Tremlett & Finn begins to look quite long. Bresnan keeps the side's balance, which I think will win him the spot

    The guy in the black and blue Villa away shirt above you in that pic is one of my best mates here in Sydney. His family now live in Adelaide.. He loved it

    What are the British papers saying about Ponting et al? I thought it was quite witty personally
