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.

I dunno Gareth our top scorer was a crappppy fast bowler naught wrong with the pitch if you can hold a bat Might have to instigate a media blackout around me tomorrow , bloody hard though ,when I work with a bunch of expat poms
BTW smiles provided by Neil , is that cheeky
Aussies: 98-ALL OUT! England: 157-0. What on Earth happened Mat?
Congratulations too the English cricket team , by winning the 4th test in Melbourne they have retained the Ashes.Well done too them & enjoy the feat, English fans One more test to go in Sydney .
Gareth are they dancing rodents .The Sydney pitch is a spinners delight & I think the poms have the best 2 spinners Be interesting to see what personel changes happen too the Aussie team post Ashes .I am a big fan of Collingwood(he plays like a Aussie ) but he has had a real dirty tour , he is actually batting like a Aussie
