Default Ashes 5th Test, the big decider - can we do it?

Not a bad first session, just one error and an almost decent score by lunch.

Can someone tell me why that dickh#@d Peter Siddle is wearing sunblock on his lips, he looks like he's trying to be white-lipped monkey boy himself, and all under floodlights. Hello?

So, here's the thread, can we beat the twats?

9 series to 1 in last 10; 34 tests won to 10 in last 10 series including this; even if this one was lost, does that answer your question?

It's only in Oz they say it that way (wickets/runs). The rest of world says it the other way around, no?

I've never really understood why. The only thing I can come up with is that it allows the runs column on TV scorecards to look 'right'.

We've always given wickets then runs, done it for over 130 years; guess the other's just followed the 'mother country'.

One thing always puzzled me in soccer, English commentator would say a team is 'defending the goal to the left' whereas most Aussies would say you are 'attacking the goal to the right'.

OP's gone quiet!
