Well, what the outcome going to be, looks like it is going for a draw, at least the weather for the next 2 days is good.

Hi Jo

At least we've just got Warne out. Should make things a bit easier.

You might just eat your words mate, can't see you guys getting over 400 tomorrow can you. Shane Warne no wickets today thought he was supposed to be good :D

What a good match to watch, good batting by ponting. Good to see a match which is not one sided anymore, I still think that the aussies are the best team, it is just that England/Wales team is close to matching them.

Cannot wait for the next test.

Another great game. Ponting was superb for a change, a real captain's innings. I thought England should have bowled Hoggard at the end, Harmison was not bowling that well. I still think that the momentum is with England & that they are getting better all the time.

I totally agree, the series is still alive, and the English can take more positives out the games than the Aussies.

Australia were lucky that it rained most of Saturday, otherwise the series would be 2-1 to England.

Um Aussies only needed another 50 runs could be 2-1 to the Australians. Let me go get Glenn to tell you how he hit his 50 :D

:confused: Aussies needed 50 runs with no overs left on a day with extended play. Only a draw or England win were going to happen here.

Nah previous posters were saying about all the rain Saturday and it robbed England of a win, cos of all the lost time.
