I think I'll just look forward to the next test now 🙁
I think Freddie might struggle with the bat through this series. I reckon Harmy will get some form back though and be a danger.

Good day for England. Collingwood and Pieterson showing they can take it to the Aussie attack. I think it's good for us that Flintoff threw his wicket away in a test we've already lost. He's had a habit of doing that in the past, and hopefully the embarrassment of it in front of the team he's supposed to be leading will mean he won't do it again all series.

Ricky "ooh my back" Ponting, missed most of yesterday in the field on the physio bench.
Glen "I'm a comedian pretending to have a bad back, but actually do have a bruised heel" McGrath, hardly bowled in the last innings, got slaughtered by Pietersen and scraped one wicket all innings.
Hopefully, the selectors will realise the futility of picking a bowler for his batting ability (idiots) and pich Panesar instead of Giles.
Also Mahmoood needs to come in for the expensive Anderson.
Harmison needs to learn to bowl a slow ball and the yorker.
Then we will level the series.
