Well F#$k me sideways! What an afternoon session! I was about to go to bed after lunch, boy am I glad I stayed up now.

Broad is certainly looking like a decent prospect to replace Freddy in the future.

Come on England!

Cool Re: Who's going to win The Ashes?

I have consistently predicted an Ashes victory for England throughout this entire series, and I am about to be vindicated.

I went to bed when it was raining, woke up at 6.30 looked on the net and must ave woken the whole house..gutted I missed it.

Not entirely confident of victory yet as this is England, Strauss and Trott can put on another 50 odd we're there I believe.

I stayed up till 4.30 this morning watching it
If England get rolled for less than 100 its still game on IMO....and the way they batted the last 90 minutes theres a very big chance..so its still game on.

If Australia make 300 in the fourth innings against Swann it'll be a miracle. England needed a match-winning bowling performance, and Broad has provided it. Pity England haven't got a second spinner, victory would already be assured.

If we had of picked a second spinner wouldn't we have lost Broad?
