Think I'll take a 4-0 thrashing now, with one draw (if we're very lucky).

Was comical to see the Aussies walking out in blazing sunshine at the start of day 2 after we chose to bat first the previous day in cloudy/damp conditions.

No doubt the ghost of Nasser past influenced the decision to bat first, but we immediately put ourselves at a disadvantage.

Any gambling man, get your money on a draw in Sydney. We haven't had a dry day in months.

Leach has put in the single worse bowling performance I have ever seen in the Ashes, how the hell is he in the team

Another hopeless collapse again.

Aussies dropped their first catch of the Ashes about 20 mins ago. We've dropped 9 so far.

All out for 236, trailing by 237. Aussies deciding to bat again. They can be all out for 50 and still win this.

Enjoy listening during the night, except when it is no contest. Why is cricket better on the radio than football?
