You can't actually get beaten any harder than this. It will be interesting to see what team goes to England in two and a half years time. Gilchrist and Hayden will almost certainly be gone by then as well. Another lame capitulation, even by English standards. You can’t actually get beaten any harder than this.

What an incredible side, and a nice touch with all the kids out on the park at the end of the day. Holy crap. 5-0.

The last five wickets have contributed bugger all runs for England all series, so it is difficult to see them taking more than about a 100 run lead. I reckon Australia will be batting at or just after lunch. Of course this is England, so I wouldn't be incredibly suprised if they lost the next 5 wickets for 10 runs and it was all over by 12:00pm.

I'm sorry Hoggard's not playing. Apart from being a terrific player, he's also got a great sense of humour. Flintoff wins the toss - Poms are batting. I’m sorry Hoggard’s not playing.

He'd retired, I think, before the 1946/47 cricket season to concentrate on cricket. In those days St Kilda were the easy-beats and had been since the inception of the VFL in 1896. It took until 1966 to register their first (and only) premiership - by one point against Collingwood. This match helped to established Collingwood as the perennial runner-up, even though they were at that stage the most prolific premiership winners. Keith Miller played for St Kilda in the VFL.

The best English pace bowler for the worst one. The Aussie left handers must be breathing a sigh of relief. Hoggard out for Andersen. The best English pace bowler for the worst one.
