No question Aerosmith for me. I remember the excitement when Perm Vac came out. I was totally blown away. It's Still an album I turn to regularly.

Unbelievable. This has been one of the most incredible days imaginable. I'd all but given up. Pietersen is a freak. How can you play so well under so much presure. Thanks Dave for the Aussie Banter and I look forward to our boys giving your boys a good stuffing in your back garden in two years.

My oh my. It's going to be another close finish. I put the draw as slight favourite based on the weather forcasts but if there are 6 full sessions it really should favour you Aussie boys from here.

Serious question for Dave and Doggy. How has this series been taken in Australia. The theory for a long time has been that Australian cricket needs a good competitive Ashes series as the general public were getting bored of winning easily all the time. Are people interested or do they switch off when they lose? Cricket in the UK has never had so much interest in my lifetime. It's on the front and back pages of all the newspapers and people who never knew what cricket was at the start of the summer are following intensly.

Jesus Christ. That was nearly me needing a new telly.

Tim, after the last one I think we should keep quiet until the fat lady is well and truly letting rip from the top of her lungs. Great days cricket though. Flintoff was awsome.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you please explain the difference between a cd-r and 'cd-r type media'. As far as Retrospect go I tend to agree with you. As long as somebody is aware of what they are buying and it's licenced he can charge what he likes. That's capitalism, like it or not. Where I do have a problem is the e-bay add that was clearly written to be evasive from the fact that it's a re-issue. The web site is fine. 20 dollars looks at first sight quite a lot but given the low volumes likely to be sold and the effort in making them it's probably fair. He'll see himself whether the market can support a 50 dollar re-issue. As for inventing a label and re-issuing unlicenced material. That's just piracy isn't it?

Welcome back Jez and i hope you had a great holiday. Make no doubt about it , we were very lucky to get away with a draw and i will even admit i think we are seeing the change of the guard here ,even if we get away with a victory or draw in this series. Most of our batsmen have no idea when facing Flintoff and he will hold the key to the remaining tests. I'm glad they are playing Tait because other than Lee , our attack is all the same pace and has become to predictable and the good thing with Tait , he is very unpredictable and alot of the time he has no idea where the ball is going to land when it leaves his hand {a bit like Lee} but he is very fast and can get very sharp lift and i think they have to try and fight fire with fire. Bottom line though, is that our batsmen have to do something here or we are gone for all money. This will be an important toss to win !!!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tait should be interesting. If Mcgrath is injured , and the smart money is on this story being a smoke screen, then you're stuffed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dave, hows your telly?

If you make CD-R's you only have to make one every time you sell one.

Oh and one more thing .If i see one one more of those fu in' clowns , leave a ball and get bowled, i will fly over and personally insert the handle of their bat up their <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Give the guys some credit. Jones and Freddy have been making the ball talk.

Ain't over till the fat lady sings but she's to be heard warming up. One more before tea please.

Great entertainment. Even our American friends would appreciate this is they could understand the rules.

No Joke. I coach one of the German junior sides. We don't win much.

Hey Doggy, Damn good resemblance there. Is pretty much the same amount of foot movement we've seen from your boys while fielding on this tour. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If Australia win tomorrow I'll listen to Rap for 24 hours.

I really believe all results are possible. Lee or Warne could go through us. We could hit 200 before tea , declare and give ourselves 4 sessions to bowl them out or it could just be a draw. A lot of cricket left.

I'm almost starting to feel sorry for you.

Is there such a thing as the 'trade description act' in the US? This add would get him in a lot of trouble in the UK.

You must have been pretty happy when they held off taking the new ball a couple of overs then? I suspect Dave will be giving this thread a miss for a few days. Bit like Gilchrist and the ball today <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No Pete , i'll front up win ,lose or after a discraceful effort in the field like that yesterday. Make no mistake, McGrath and Lee's opening spell was brilliant with no luck at all and other than that , the rest is pretty much forgetful. I also believe that this side is in total dissaray from the pressure and attacking approach from England with both bat and ball and if they don't clean up the remaining English wickets cheaply today , it just won't be this test match all over , it will be the series because Gillespie or Kasper are simply not up to it to provide support for McGrath , Lee and Warne and none of our top order batsmen even look like they are going to make runs , so all i can see is trouble ahead unless there is a major turn around Tim stated in an earlier thread after losing the First Test that England would now win the series 4-1 and i just laughed at that.Now that is not a laughing matter , that is a distinct possibility <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Would you go for Tait. I'm a big fan of out and out pace and I'd like to see what he can do. I'm pleased to see Lee doing well and Australia losing!

The one we can look forward to is Warne's 600th wicket. Hat's of to the guy and he's done it with a straight arm.

Well Dave. Looks like your in trouble. Lee is in hospital with a suspected infection of the knee. He , along with the sms kid, are your only players to have stood up and been counted.

I'll be honest after the toss I was really worried but having seen how the wicket played I'm even more worried. I don't think that's enough but we'll see tommorow. Hayden's due a score. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Got that wrong didn't I.

Good to hear. My wife has just phoned me to tell me she's sick so I might have to go home and look after the kids. About time they learned what the ashes is I think. Warne just come on to bowl I see. So far so good.
