Obviously Aussies have the lead at 1-0 after some superb batting and poor play from the English

What does everyone think will be the final score? Views on the upcoming test? Can England come back?

England started playing a bit better in the last test at Adelaide but will have to pick up especially in the bowling department. As long as we dont play as badly as we have until now weve got a reasonably good chance, i think but Austrailia are the best team in the world. Let's hope McGrath's heel plays up again!

My thoughts are somewhere along the lines of 'OH NO' followed by ARGHHHHHHH.

I reckon it'll be a whitewash, but you can get 50-1 on England winning the series. Worth 25 pence of anyone's money.

Edit - whups, thougfht I must have misheard that. It's 15-1, which means I will have to risk 75 pence.

It wont be a total whitewash

England still have a bit of fight in them yet, i think]

Hopefully anyway....

A very good days play from England last night declaring on 500 odd for four or five i think with Pietersen getting over 150 and Collingwood getting well over 200. It's looking up!

Full marks to Collingwood. Great effort!

why no panesar AGAIN? wtf

beacause fletcher wants us to bat down to 8, which giles does consistently, lets face it hes a better batter than the dire geraint jones, some say we should have played 2 spinners but i reckon you can only do that if your pacemen are on top form, and apart from flintoff ours are looking ordinary

all hail the king of spain juan pablo gilo

looking forward to the next days play England on the way back...come on barmy army

BRING BACK MONTY!!!!!

No chance we winning it
But im not much of a fan so... i dont mind

theme 2 wicket right at the end might of just lost it for us

Monty has pretty much told giles how good of a player giles is. I reckon giles should just come back home and retire from international cricket! lol...the ashes are pretty much over, just got to stop the whitewash

Stupid Jones... he went in for tht catch when it was easy for Kevin P. I think Jones should be off the team, FULL STOP!

japan will win

If you post one more pointless post/thread your posting ability will be revoked and nobody will be able to laugh at you again

Martin...You may be right about the whitewash...but a wasted 75 pence...should have bought a creme egg instead

Oh England why are you so bad.
