RE: The Ashes and Cricket World Cup Discussion Thread
Great to see Pietersen getting a century (with a little bit more) but I hope he doesn't return to the crease today and we declare and see what the Aussies have got left, even if they get 400 we'll only need a 100 and without any Lillie, Thomson, McGrath or Warne that shouldn't be a probelm.
There batting isn't the real issue here its just the quality of their attack, yes they have a '5th bowler' with a better test record than ours (Watson > Collingwood) but still there is a difference in what comes before them, I will put money on Swann appearing in the next game but I wouldn't risk any pennies on Doherty returning again anytime soon, the lad is a bit out of his depth in test match cricket and I wouldn't be shocked if they made another change to their seam bowling lineup before Perth since the best they can get here is a draw and they'll really, really need to start winning a couple of games soon.

Getting Michael Clarke out of the last ball could be the turning point of this match as the pitch has just started to open some cracks and there is some rough out there too. The 5th day weather doesn't look good at all and it would be a shame if it ends in a draw because England have played far better cricket then the Aussies in all departments.

RE: The Ashes and Cricket World Cup Discussion Thread
Some bad news guys....
Adelaide for Tuesday A morning shower, increasing to showers and a thunderstorm during the afternoon and evening. Warm to hot with moderate NE/N winds and a light to moderate SW afternoon sea breeze.
Hopefully we avoid all that and can take these 6 wickets ASAP
