The wheels are finally off
Ricky Ponting planning the expletive ladden word waterfall that he will unleash when introducing the team to the queen.
There is losing and then there is losing without dignity. Ponting swearing at umpire and crowd (well assited by Katich yelling at, well, everyone) was a low point, not only of this series but of Australian cricket. These were symptoms of a team in crisis. Australia have been completely outplayed, out thought and out coached in this series. Changes must be made otherwise England will hoist (if you can described the raising of a tiny replica urn with 2 fingers as hoisting) the urn at the end of the 5th test (a prospect that I am sure is quite palatable to many readers).
'One beer' Giles let's his celebrations get a little out of hand after guiding his team to victory
This was Flintoff's test. It is now Flintoff's series. In desparation we are trying to have him jailed for ball tampering.
Well done to England. Another great display (except G Jones who shall receive another Ponting like spray in my match report for his keeping). Well done also to Dave for making it to Trent Bridge even though on holidays.
Dave Thompson captured in disguise at the 4th Test
A few final pictures before I hide under the bed, think of 1989 and Terry Alderman and let most of you celebrate.
Kevin Pieterson reminding Australian selectors that he is spoken for. Pity, his beer holding technique is good
Langer contemplates life on the road without Hayden and his cook book
Speaking of the out of sorts Matty, a wonderfully ironic title introduces Hayden here
Matty's book outlines his plan for life after cricket as a short order cook with a smile.

This next test will be a cracker.
Great post Stewart, looking forward to the match report.
I thought the last test was a nail-biter, this one was amazing. Throughly enjoyed this one, didn't even answer the phone when it rang as I didn't want to miss a minute of it.
