    Obviously I'm saying this following three quick wickets, but no cricket match is ever lost until the final run is scored. Time, and time, and time again cricket matches completely change course. It's a large reason why, IMO, it's the best sport out there.

    Hell, just this match alone has changed course on a number of occasions.

    Could go either way. Think England have a decent chance, but need an early wicket or two tomorrow.

    And the lack of back up batsmen is highlighted by the fact that, as Macca is an injury doubt for tomorrow (Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), it is Bates who has been called into the squad as cover. The guy might be a sensational wicket-keeper, but he hardly knows how to hold a bat.

    Anyone ever read Never Let Me Go? By Kazuo Ishiguro. I've just finished it and I've got to say it's one of the most fantastically thought provoking novels I've ever read.

    Why is it that some football clubs seem hell bent on imploding? I see Swindon Town have got rid of their manager. They expected him to take over fron Di Canio and get the same results? DiC is a motivator extraordinaire. To expect an ordinary manager to do as well is just pie in the sky. Having got Swindon in a fantastic position, the board managed to piss DiC off and now they're reaping the benefits of their stupidity.

    Maybe you should ask the Pompey board? they're experts on the subject.

    Unless the boy wonder hits another fantastic score, I can't see the Aussies winning this. They need 137 we need 4 wickits, It's ours to lose. An early wicket tomorrow should get the ball rolling, if they get stuck in though and don't get out early it could be difficult.

    England are favourites to win the Test but there could still be another twist. Vaughan has said this match has a hint of Edgbaston 2005 about it. I'd obviously take another win but I hope it's not as close this time.

    Yes . If we don't get an early wicket or two , they will have a good chance .
