Country:  | Apparently Flintoff is fine to play at Perth. Damien Martyn retired today much to the suprise of everyone! I agree with Ricky Ponting saying that Martyn was one of the great unsung players of recent times. Symonds and Voges have been called up in his place.

Country: | sorry been away from computer last few days due to work but did manage to see some cricket. first innings by England and Australia pretty much standard in my opinion. Was surprised about how England who was leading by first innings declared and managed to throw it down the tube in second innings. Any way Perth should be a good test match | |

Country:  | No, Panesar needs to play instead of Anderson...We lose a lot of batting depth if Giles goes, as neither of our wicket keepers are particularly outstanding with the bat at the moment...

Country: | Panasar bowled well yesterday. I'm betting some of the English's selectors are getting grilled for not picking him earlier! I say bring back that hack Giles, I enjoy watching him try to spin the ball!

Country: | Boy the English got smashed today!! Gilchrist was awesome! second fastest hundred in test history. And on top of a great day with the bat, Bing lee got Strauss for a quacker. Sorry boys, but it looks like the little urn will be coming back.

Country: | Yeah, well done for winning it back  Guess we will just have to win it back again next year (the Aussies will likely be without Warne etc)

Country: | Yeah shame the series is dead now, was good fun while it lasted. Flintoff says they'll be playing for pride now - too late for that me thinks.
