Just a thought on our attractive defender. He should become more attractive seeing as he is suspended for the FA Cup game this weekend with Everton which would eliminate the possibility of him being cup-tied.

Yeah its sad reality that we may have seen (or heard on Radio Rovers) his last game for Rovers.

Ive had my bit about Diz. He should be a certain drop. Not sure about the others. I wouldnt make more than 2 changes. A good break is what the whole team needs.

What a difference a day makes. If the poms had won, they could have pinched the ashes in the next test. However, thanks to Aussie grit and determination, a win at Trent Bridge for the green and gold will make it impossible for the poms to do the unthinkable.

Thats it Dizzy. Go sell your Baggy green on ebay, cos its the last one you will ever get.

Standing ovation from Down Under

slow and steady will draw the race.

Now look what you've done

Ill just sit in the corner and drink my beer.

BUGGER!!!!

Come on Gilly and Punter, dig your bloody heels in.

Discrimination against international supporters, cant get five live

anybody have commentary link for this game please???

Well done Diz. Get rid of that bloody mullet.

No, the last time he will play for Australia.

The Aussies are getting nervous - love it!

Im not nervous; I have no doubt Diz will continue to get taken to the cleaners. Get a good look at him, cos it will be the last test you see him play.

I'm so jealous i wish i was going. I'm hoping that a day is lost due to rain then i can go along on monday

According to weather reports, that might just happen. Ho ho ho, England could rain on their own parade. Ho ho ho.

If Dizzy doesnt turn his form around in this test he should be dropped. I dont know why Kaspa isnt playing instead of Diz anyway. A tough decision for the selectors for sure, but they need to get some balls and stop flogging this dead horse.

I dont think I can survive too many games like that one. Top marks to the tail.

getting in your excusses already?

What are you trying to say?? We will qualify for WC, but only because a freak of nature prevents us from KICKING YOUR ARSE and we lose the ashes. Or, the way of things will not change and we beat you again, but we dont qualify for WC??

I'd gladly swap an Ashes series for a Football World Cup Qualification.

Well we do have a few to bargain with , but seriously, football at the international level is one of the very few sports (not sure of our croquet world standing) Australia hasnt been a major player in, be it world champs or just plain dominators.

and gilchrist is older so it's to be expected!

And at what age can it be expected for England to win the Ashes back???

My season ticket came this morning complete with a membership pack of a mouse mat, keyring, sticker, goals of the season dvd   that was a nice surprise

I couldnt justify buying a season ticket to get that stuff(I'm just not that hardcore), but I would pay some price to get that stuff so I could say I was a paid up supporter for the coming season. International supporters are forever on the outside looking in.

What do Geraint Jones and Michael Jackson have in common??

They both wear gloves for no apparent reason

Just so everyone is clear; Australia will win the Ashes.

No if, buts or maybe's.

Well Im not ordering my Bellamy shirt until it's a certainty.
