While we were swinging for runs before declaring at the end.

Warne was unlucky all day.

We don't. We call it effeminate.

If Australia can bat out the day it will be a crushing defeat for England.

[Maquiladora]

They wont reach the target, even if they do bat all day.

The rain will have saved Australias neck if it ends in a draw.

[Alexander's Horse]

No, you misunderstand - a draw will be a crushing defeat for England - and that is what Australia will play for.

If Giles can do his best "no really I'm an attacking spinner" impression we should win, I think a draw is most likely though, which the Aussies will be far happier with

[Alexander's Horse]

Giles is a good bowler. I don't know why he's constantly rubbished.

[MikeH]

I think people expect spin bowlers to be Shane Warne.

I agree though, Giles is a good bowler.

[TheStinger]

I'm not really having a go at him, its just that often he is used defensively and of course any bowler compared to shane warne doesn't look that great. except murali and he's a chucker

[MikeH]

Shane's been excellent this series. With the quality of his batting he's been pretty much an all rounder.

[TheStinger]

He should be aussie captain, his knowledge of the game is porbably up their with richie benaud's

[MikeH]

Chew chwenchy chew for chew

[Alexander's Horse]

lots of turmoil in his personal life seems to help our Shane - not unique for a champion - its like he comes to life on the cricket oval

Then dies when it looks like he'll score a century.

[MikeH]

He's top of the list of "most test runs without a century" by some way.
