The Ashes 2010/11

I think its confidence, the baggies have quaility on their team but they are now facing a bouyant England side while they are demoralised so they are getting killed out there.

Ponting needs to somehow pick his team up and get them playing again otherwise it will all be over before Christmas.

He also needs to stop spitting on his hands. Disgusting habit.

Needs a new cap as well, the one he is wearing is looking a tad shabby

Ah, well, 200 in the lead, only three sticks back in the hut, the aussies will have to look for defeat to lose from here... This is shaping up to be an awesome series. So great to see Johnson back in touch with the bat and the ball. That fella's got a test 100 in him somewhere...

Oh well, come on Aussies

I was joking with some of my workmates that if any team was capable of pulling off a spectacular enough collapse to not reach 268, it was England.

Should have kept my mouth shut...

You should have seen Steve Waugh's cap when he retired. Had he played for another year, the crest on his cap would have fallen out completely. I would like Ponting to retain it until he retires. Sign of his long term contribution to Australian and world cricket.

Would be interesting to see how today's play might shape up. I am looking forward to a sledge fest.

Yes you should've

Aussies humiliated on boxing day. Worst performance by an Aussie team I've ever witnessed. Well done England.
