Australia
Tried to bowl England out for one ball, then thought they would wait for a declaration. Got 7 past their score in the first innings opening partnership, good for them.
England
Did what they had to do. Weren’t bad in the field, but seemed to wait for something to happen. Shouldn’t feel nervous.
Can Australia still win/retain the Ashes
Yes, but they wont.
Play of the day
Ricky Ponting got hit in the face, not just metaphorically.
Testicular moment of the day
I was hoping Jonathan Trott wouldn’t be picked, today proved why. He was cool under pressure, batted with a retro charm, kept out the bad balls and made his teammates look like a pack of underachievers.
Working class moment
Nathan Hauritz came out to carry drinks a few times.
Question of day four
Is 466 a redonk total?

“Is 466 a redonk total?”
nah, just need are couple of quick double tons, one or two runs from Hussey to earn his appearance money and a sprinkling from the tail.
All in a day’s work, really.
Hussey is his own worst enemy. He finally gets into a batting partnership with Ponting then gets Ponting run out with bad call.
