Still can't believe Clark missed out and they went with Hauritz

They've lost an early wicket but If England don't score 450+ here they should all take up tennis.
 
That pitch is absolutely stone fcuking dead, Siddle has bowled some 150km/hr balls that have taken three minutes to reach Brad Haddin.
 
Good luck batting last on this Australia, it'll be lucky to bounce ankle high by then   
 
Fuck England's luck with these tosses, 4-1 !

I'd love to see Ponting's overall success at winning the toss. He doesn't seem to win many..

Congratulations must go to Oval groundsmen for preparing what can only be described as a "shocker". It pretty much ruined any chance of a fair dinkum honest battle between bat and ball over five days.

To see how dead and dry it was on day one and then puffs of dirt coming up where the ball was pitching on day two, well, suffice to say that just should never happen at test match level.

England's victory was 80% sealed when the coin fell their way on the first morning imo

Most underserving series win by a team that I have seen and I'm not just saying that because I am supporting the Aussies. England win basically off the back of winning the toss.
 
Hopefully "Mr Cricket" gets shown the door now. Get Hughes back in and move Watson down to the middle order.

Any chance of a miracle pretty much dashed in the first 20 minutes.
 
Ponting needs a captains knock of mammoth proportions and someone has to stay with him.

Oh, and I think I'm being extremely generous to say Hussey needs 150 here to save his career.

Kudos to England I guess, they took a punt preparing this pitch and it all came down to the toss.
 
Had we won the toss, the game would be completely different.

Sad to see Punter out that way, he looked to be knuckling down...
