Final Ashes Test
Not looking good for the aussies. Metcheck released the following today:
"The weather's not looking good towards the end of this week if you're an Aussie. Low pressure is set to push in slowly from the West and remain an unsettled influence across many parts into the weekend bringing general rain, followed by sunshine and heavy showers. Of course, if the rain consistently delays the final test match from Thursday, then the match will end a draw, and England will have won the series."
Shame really - be nice to see it end with another English victory.

Re: Final Ashes Test
The rain at Old Trafford saved the Aussies. It should be all over but I reckon the Aussies will win the last test and scrape a draw.

Re: Final Ashes Test
If Australia wins the toss and elect to bat first and put a good performance i believe they can walk away with it.

In theory that shouldn't happen 
But the best team in the day will win, whoever it is congrats.

Re: Final Ashes Test
I think you are right, it all depends on the toss, who wants to bat against Shane Warne on a last innings wicket. England need to win the toss and bat first.

Not looking good for the Aussies, heavy showers forcast for Friday, Saturday & Sunday. I'll piss myself if it's a rained out draw.
