I've just finished watching the first days play highlights with the daughter and her boyfriend (seeing as how I was at work yesterday) and was astonished that all the Aussie supporters had left the ground at the beginning of the final session!! :o

Hells teeth...this was day 1 and not day 5 like the first two tests :DL

After the pain of watching the last session of cricket, the only thing that will cheer me up is the process of buying a new computer!

Good choice....did you see Punters rant at the umpires over the decision of the third official 'he appealed to'? :haha:

Bad show, old boy.

What's the betting that they got a call and had to go in to the office for something . :haha:

Don't worry about Pontings taxi bill either..... next week he will be driving one for a living.

England have shown once again that they can dig in and give a great performance, just a shame we leave it till the last possible moment, but I suppose that's what us England fans love about the England team:D

Stopped up all night watching it on the box with a bottle of rum for company....priceless :DL

So Ponting loses 40% of his match fee for his childish rant which in his case will be a pack of disposable nappies, two boxes of Kleenex and a childs dummy http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/1...kdummyht41.gif

Here is what former Australian skipper Ian Chappell had to say on the matter:

What's that Skip?...We're crap at cricket?

Not the ideal way to end your career Ricky :hmmm:

Not the best way to act, as your career is coming to the end:nope:

I've just getting some information from a reliable source that very few Aussies slept last night, instead they chose to pack the area in and around Melbourne and perform that ancient Aboriginal custom......the rain dance :DL

And there's me thinking we had the monopoly of praying for rain:har:

No, not at all, but I doubt we'll be hearing from our Australian cousins...at least until they have something to carp about, we are 415 or so runs ahead and obviously Jaesens computer is 'broke' again.

Well I love it....what goes round comes around....ENGLAND EXPECTS EVERY MAN WILL DO HIS DUTY!!


Taxi for Ponting!!

Another victory by an innings surely beckons now for England. Australia are in total disarray. England set to retain the Ashes for the first time in 26 years while Ponting is set to go down in history as the first Australian captain to lose the Ashes three times.

Not expecting to see too many bocs in the crowd today. :DL

A fantastic final session saw 5 Aussie wickets fall and Ponting remain consistently poor.

Where's our Aussie cousins on this thread?

Must have nothing to crow about and Jaesens pc is probably 'broke' again :DL

On a more serious note I must say that this is the worst Aussie side I can remember seeing....makes a pleasant change from some of the rubbishy sides we've fielded over the years.

All they can hope for in the final test is a face saving draw because they'll never admit publicly they expected to beat us soundly in the series.

Taxi for Ponting!!

Probably hiding somewhere, or planning a backpacking trip somewhere:har:

There are more subscribers to this thread from Derbyshire now than there are Australians.
