...looks like Simon Katich is out of the Ashes because of an Achilles tendon injury.

Torn it apparently, nasty. Great performance from him yesterday.


Swanny gets his Michelle

That's a fantastic victory !!

Who would have predicted it would be all wrapped up before 1.00am !?

 

[Munkfish]

Lovely, one up and 7 hours sleep ahead! If anything too soon, I was hoping for a bit of tension.

 

[Si Gull]

Superb. Bloody hell the Aussies are poor! Love it!

Marvellous scenes, absolutely stuffed them.

Bozza, that 2-1 at lunch last night was good value

 

[The Large One]

THAT... was a masssacre.

Well and truly in the driving seat now. Aussie only hope is to somehow resurrect there non existent bowling attack. Its what has made it so easy relatively for us to get into positions where they are chasing the game. To be fair in terms of batting Australia have it in them to get good scores but without the bowling to back them up its an uphill struggle. Bring on Perth, win the ashes there, lovely

Corking scenes with the England fans going loopy when Hussey went. Marvellous.

Well night night all. Thank goodness it was all over fairly quickly tonight. Good chance I might actually make the 0630 Victoria train today. Looking forward to some more all-nighters for the 3rd test.
