    Dunno Ben, 112-0 is a strong come back.

    Looking like a draw to me. Don't know what the weather is for today.

    I know this is in the "general" section and not just Baptists, but are you guys SPEAKING IN TONGUES??

    And how LONG does this continue?

    It can last five days. This is the fifth of five 5 day tests. Australia are now 277-2. England are only on 373 so barring a batting collapse Australia are looking really good.

    If England can slow things down and get some bad weather they could salvage a draw, which would be enough since they lead the series 2-1 due to a previous draw.

    If these series ends 2-2 Australia retain the title as holders.

    I used to feel the same way. I wish I had cable to watch the matches. A fun way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.

    And it takes 3 1/2 hours to play 60 minutes?
    And you don't need to touch the ball down to get a touchdown?

    The last day should be exciting. All England need to do is to protect the wicket for a few hours and it should be over with a draw, which is all they need to law claim to the Ashes!

    Flintoff is gone for eight runs - 126-5 lead of 132 runs. Interesting afternoon ahead.

    Plenty of time for Australia to bat.

    Its over Matt!!

    325-8 (331 lead) - only 24 overs left. They would need 14 an over to catch up even if England went out now.

    Congrats to the English!!!
