Country:  | If we had Giles playing we would have won. He was just warming up in the first 2 matches.

Country: | its a shame to hear that warney is going to retire at the end of this series. I think it will leave a big gap in the Australian Test side, one that will be hard to fill.

But 2009 Ashes series is a long way off yet but just keep in mind it took the English side 27 years to regain the Ashes in 2005 and lots of Aussie Cricket legends retired in that time It may take you another 27 odd years to regain it next time. I suppose that isn't much comfort for you rochie | |

Country:  | Wouldn't surprise me if they did but with a first innings total of 150 odd it isn't surprising if they do win...

Country: | Does this mean the English players have to give their MBE's back? Still can't believe they got gongs for winning a couple of games of cricket. Maybe because of the flogging they got they should be branded LMF!
