England has lost their last 4 wickets for 8 runs! 
5/77, England is looking to be in quite a lot of trouble.

Ashley Giles to save the Ashes! An inspired selection!
Oh, no, wait...he's out.
Never mind.

If England tried to score, they would've put the game out of reach of Australia. Collingwood thanks for not scoring.

Good job. Now on to Perth.
Carried away...arrogance...boring match...draw...
Turned into quite a good finish, and a fairly comprehensive Australian victory, given the previous circumstances. Adelaide always has an interesting pitch, as said, if we do not jump to conclusions; spin did come into it on the fifth day, as said.
Gilchrist did his bit, Lee bowled fast, well and took wickets when it mattered. Ponting continues to be the best in the world, and Clarke is back nicely.
Nothing to get excited about though. Just a matter of playing the next test and getting on with the job.

I cannot believe that we won the match. I wonder what the pommies will say about his devastating loss.

The best part is Martyn is surely going to be dropped for the next match.

Haw Haw Haw What a victory. Best i've seen. That should silence the Dad's Army critics.

This is what makes test cricket so wonderful! Taking off my Aussie blinkers, you have to say England had the better of it for 4 days, or at least most of those days. But turn off for a day, think yourself safe and WHAMMO!!
As badly as the Poms went today, the key moment of the test for me was the dropping of Ponting. Giles hangs on to it and the game is totally different - Aussies struggle to avoid follow on, England in box seat.

I just don't understand how that happened. My god.
A little more batting maturity in that second innings would have gone a long way. Flintoff is just not scoring. Jones in for his runs? Crap. Giles in for his runs? Duck.
Series over, no one comes from 2-0 down in Australia.

Very few teams have come from one nil down to win a test series here, so I would have thought they would have tried their best to draw this match

Should Monty Panesar return for the third Test in Perth?
Currently at 96% yes...

Breaking news.....
Damien Martyn has retired from all cricket effective immediatly so he wont be playing in the third test. I think this leaves the possiblity of playing 5 bowlers

They Played Panesar! 
Although they're still getting hammered early; 4 overs in and Australia's batting at 5.5 already.

Hayden is gone at least, beauty.
