I'm going to start The Save Jason Gillespie Campaign he's the best thing for english batsman since the advant of the willow

england cricket shirts out selling football ones 3-1-amazing

intreasting article http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/front_page/4153306.stm I agree with the setiments comparing behaviour of england/aussies and overpaid footballers.

I don't think I can take much more of this! another amazing test, just a pitty england could just not finish it off. this series is the best I have ever seen. at it's best (and this series is) no other sport comes close to test cricket

Gilchrist didn't look to hot either today. 2 missed stumpings and a dropped catch-it's becoming infectous

whats this about a bust up between Warne and Ponting in the 2nd test?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......bad day all round

sorry my late granny (bless her) could have caught that-it was a doddle. And what are those sunglasses for? all in all a very depressing day. It would have been better for England not to have bothered coming out

F**king hell Geraint Jones-butter fingers it would have been better not playng at all today

saw Gary Neville and Roy Keane at OT today They could be useful if Freddie gets going....why you may ask? because if Freddie starts hitting 6's and breaking windows than Neville and Keane can get in touch with the Glaziers!

by my own calculations I make it that aussies have dropped more chances so far in this series than england. They dropped about 4 sitters today great!!!! england get about 450 and then apply the pressure

aussie spin machine been working overtime last couple of days (and I'm not talking about warne!)

dress up in fancy dress and watch out for those n-power girls. I was at the test match last year and I saw all sorts. you can't beat a day at the test, it be a cracking atmosphere (as long as england are doing OK) and real good value for money. You get 6 hours + of world class sport with some of the best players on the planet for less than it cost to fill up the average car with fuel. I've got 6 tickets in the "Twaites stand". last time I went to an ashes test was at OT in '97 when Steve Waugh made a century and before that at in '93 when Shane Warne and Tim May ripped through the english batsman hipe for better luck this year

reported on bbc website as well. don't mean ill on the chap, who played well yesterday but it would be another bit of luck for england.

that be one impressive bowling attack-who would be the new ball attack? lee & harmy?

apart from the jaffa that Warne bowled to Struass I think the batsman played Warne OK. He did take 6 wickets in the 2nd innings but two of those (Bell and Pietersen) were highly suspect, a couple were tail enders. saying that Vaughan wins the toss on thursday and bats, so as not to (hopefully) face Warne on a sharply turning 4/5th day OT wicket.

I think it's somthing to do with the fact that the attraction of a pre season "non-match" on a warm summers afternoon is less than appealing and if everybodies saving their coppers for the season ahead and we get 25K+ average what is the problem? saying that the Sunday Times quoted our gate as of "Championship size"

I know it's difficult to compare sports, but for sheer sporting drama todays dramatic test win by england compares with sunday 14th may 1995 and rovers dramatic final minute defeat to clinch the title.

just got up from thumping the floor in delight................. I feel like I've run the mathathon just quite amazing match-the best I have ever seen in my 20 years of watching cricket

having seen the replay loads of times I would love to know how the umpire could have possibly given Pietersen out sweeping from 22 yards, when it hit about 5 parts of his body expect the bit the matters. saying that I think he could have been out gloving 1st ball to Gilchrist. so as so often in sport these things even them selves out.

oh yesssssssssssssssssss!!!! throught we threw it away there of a minute great final slower ball by harmy

is Ricky Ponting the missing link in evolution? have you seen how much arm hair he's got?

I reakon the ball the did strauss turned further than the gatting ball in 1993. Strauss didn't do a lot wrong..just trying to pad it away. if england score 300 I think we will win...

It be good for england if their is dampness around, and the wicket being covered overnight, as it will help th eball to swing
