Yeah, we just needed to take our time and we're home.

erm we still have to take 10 wickets on a pitch that is holding together well. only reason we bowled England out for such a low score was because Johnson did a Siddle

I wouldn't go saying we're home just yet

Agreed. Siddle turned out to be a one-trick pony. My bet is that Johnson is as well. I'm putting down Smith's legspinners to win us the match.

Sorry, but cricket is the most worthless sport to watch/play, followed by golf (too watch, but not play).
There are no winners in cricket. (Oh no, I've made 999,999,998 enemies instantly.. :D)
Cool Story bro. Next time don't post in a cricket thread. ;)

Errr  Johnson took 63 wickets two years in a row. hardly a one trick pony. :| Was ICC world player of the year? He's easily australia's best bowler.

Agree with Russ though. Gonna be difficult to take 10 wickets on that pitch. But we got 5 seamers and a spinner. + Clarke if needed (He wont bowl though). We just need early wickets and hopefully get to Collingwood + Prior by the time the ball loses its shine.

Didn't see the one you're talking about, but if the umpire originally gives him not out then the review system has to show it would definitely hit the stumps (and they use a 50% margin of error, so if less than 50% of the ball hits the stumps then it's not out)

Aussies should close this one out with a day to spare, England 64/3 atm with Trott and Collingwood at the crease.

Yaya :) my prediction was correct! Johnson came back in and played an imperative role :D

Australia are in a very strong position and it would be very unlucky to lose from here.
