Hostilities recommence this Thursday, Bob in Perth Western Australia. Perth's pitch traditionally has been the fastest pitch in Australia. Fast bowlers LOVE Perth , they get too bowel impressive 'bouncers' which involves bowling as fast as possible & knocking batsmen's heads off  :D :D.

If the Aussies can not bowel the Poms out twice in Perth they will never be able too  :ahhh :ahhh.
The panic button has been well & truly pressed/smashed by the Aussie selectors with wholesale player changes.
The poms have only made team changes due to injury & are exceedingly confident  :( :( :( :(

I am praying the Aussie bowlers have managed to find their testicles , the batsmen have located their knackers & the fielders actually field. That said I am feeling extremely confident( ::) :P :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh) the Aussies will win the 3rd Test to level the best of 5 one all. :D :D :D

when the tests finish do they get to do a final exam?
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Each test match is five days long, with five matches in the Ashes series, so 25 days of cricket. :)  First test was a draw, second was a win for England.  As England won the Ashes last year all they need is a draw in the series to keep the title, so in effect all they need is one more win to hold onto the Ashes.

Sound about right Mat? :)

I dunno Mat, 268 isn't exactly a total wash out.  We'll just have to see how England bat and find out if it's a bowlers pitch.  Still, it's a score that can make England quietly optimistic.  :)

Bloody Aussie Cricket team trying to crush the nation's Christmas cheer , that is what has happened  :cry: :cry: :D :D.

Aussie team is carrying to many players not pulling their weight , Ponting & Clark bugger all runs (Captain & Vise Captain  ::) ::) >:() ,Hughes no runs , Smith no runs. Team has relied on Hussey too much  >:( >:(.
 

I think the poms have just about retained the Ashes (they just need to win this test match). :cry: :cry: :cry:

Second time at the bat and Aussies are 169 for 6.  With Hussey out for a Duck (no runs) it's not looking good for the Antipodeans.  Not wanting to count our chickens and all that, but I suspect the Ashes just might be heading North again. :)

Be interesting to see what personel changes happen too the Aussie team post Ashes  :think: :think:.
I am a big fan of Collingwood(he plays like a Aussie  :D) but he has had a real dirty tour  :o :o , he is actually batting like a Aussie  :P :D :D

Well day 3 of the fifth & final test confirms Australian cricket has entered into a Pooenaissance  :cry: :cry:.
Poms have the test well under control.
Methinks English cricket's star is on the rise & Aussie Test cricket is in for some tougher times  :ahhh :cry: :cry: .   
How does a spinner bowl a no ball  ??? ??? ??? ???(aussie debutant spinner, Beer, had Cook out for not much but bowled a no ball. Cook went on to make 189 :ahhh)
