You must have English blood, 'cause you're giving up way too easily. The weather will save you tomorrow, you'll be 0-0 going into Perth, the next three games are at grounds with result pitches. One of your bowlers will find his mojo (my money's on Harris), Hussey and Clarke will remember how to bat like they did today, Punter's due a big one. I still say you can do it 3-0.

And, as it turns out
Wrong.

Yup :D
(Yup to being wrong, not yup to being McGrath. Christ, the mere thought...)

Ha ha!
You're wrong and we have lost the test in abysmal fashion. Sorry to say, no English blood (bit of Welsh so not sure if that helps), just watch too much cricket and know our lads. They BOMBED!

I have this theory
That for years Australia were basically cheating by selecting goblins and passing them off as human players (thanks to the disguising power of a baggy green). You don't seriously believe Ponting, Gilchrist, MacGill etc. are just vertically-challenged colonials, do you? No! They were all discovered when miners in Western Australia accidentally drilled into their magic underground kingdom, and persuaded to use their enchanted powers to play cricket, in return for their secret world remaining undiscovered. I think David Boon was actually a gnome, not a goblin, but same difference. Anyway, as the ratio of goblins to convicts has dropped, the fortunes of the 'Strayan team have also plummeted. Coincidence? I think not! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!

Whilst bizarre
This is still the most coherrent explanation for Ricky Ponting I've yet seen.

I have a lot of Welsh blood
and this is the only sport in which I support England.

But, yes, I was gloriously wrong, and I hope to remain so for the rest of the series as I have already backed Aus to win in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. All you need is... um.... drop Doherty, obviously, and... um....
