It was poor cricket at the time, I can vouch for that one. They were allowing Punter and Watson to milk Swanny, and 2 slips for Tremlett, the best bowler at the time, unlucky not to get a wicket in this innings

Not how I saw it, and Swann's figures don't really point to it either. Oh well.

who caresabout bowling figures..... if we can rip out these last 4 wickets weve sealed the win and the urn is ours

[procricket]

who cares about anything apart from the 4 or possibly 3 wickets and the urn is coming home

Quite, indeed it is looking likely we will only have to take 3 with the injury to Harris. There is no point him risking making the injury worse given the situation.

Word is a stress fracture on a bone in his foot which will require surgery. At his age there is no point delaying it as it will take a long time to heal.

fair enough may let him off then if its broken....he can bow out and leave us 3 wickets for victory

I think people are assuming England will rap it up today. It looks hopeful but not a given.

Yeh, call me a pessimist but I wasn't comfortable listening to the tms buildup, they were going on like the match finished last night.

Never rule the aussies out, never.

Edit: We gave them an absolute pasting in the 2nd match, got complacent and they came back hard in the 3rd. Lessons to be learnt.
