And Australia are right back in this series, I am hoping they win this test match as I've also managed to get tickets for the Oval and it would be great to go into the match at 2-1 meaning both sides would really go for the win!

I'm enjoying listening to the Ashes on 5live extra. Geoff Boycott is a legend. The commentator everyone loves to hate. He's on top bloody form and is taking absowloootely nooow nonsense from Anniboddy.

I reckon this English team will struggle once KP and Swanny retire. They are universally feared.

Mind you, if Anderson and Broad continue to open the bowling for the next 3-4 years, we'll always be in the game...

Test cricket has suffered because of the hegemony of the one-day game. When even Aussie are struggling to bat for any length of time, there's a problem. Can you imagine Steve Waugh giving his wicket away like some of them did in the last Test? He'd probably still be out there now.

KP is not the player he was; Bell's actually been the player of the series.

Bell is the sexiest batsman in world cricket.

Shane Watson is on course for a double century.

Love what Boycott was saying; if he gets out to Kerrigan then he should tie a noose and hang himself. Harsh but fair.

Australia are just rank bad. I don't think they are full of average players but they have no leaders. Nor do they have a player to fear. Peter Siddle is probablt the best they have but he has no back up.

England are a good side all round but not what they were three years ago. Ian Bell is now Englands best player and great credit for that because he all sorts of shit flung his way 4 or 5 years ago.

That's why Test matches are dying a death. Neanderthals making pathetic rules up. That was a brilliant Test ruined by a ridiculous rule.

was listening on the radio, and it was sad how intelligent judgement went out the window due to stupid rules. Australia made avery sporting declaration and it was gearing up for a fantastic finish but ruined by stupid set rules, with no leeway for rational decision

Aussie were taken off in one of the other Tests despite wanting to stay out there - it really was a stupid decision to allow umpires the choice to halt play, rather than offering the light to the batting side.

I was there yesterday and it was fantastic, a real party atmosphere, I could see it coming with the light issue which is a shame because it was an amazing finish ruined by ridiculous rules. Astralia didn't deserve to lose though to be honest so a draw was a fair result.
