Good catch Gilo.

So, you want the Ashes now or after the second innings?

We've wasted our opportunity of putting pressure on England with this innings. Well done Flintoff, you've won the Ashes for England with your superb spell of 18 overs of bowling.

I'm sure the umps will offer the light to England as soon as they start their second innings - Australia's only chance of keeping them on is to bowl spinners, which is Warne and Katich, most likely.

Can we call that collapse?

Great catch Gilo </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yep, that's a collapse, thanks to excellent bowling by Flintoff and Hoggard and terrible batting by some of our batsmen.

Why? It'll be much better batting conditions tomorrow

Please God, make the England batting line-up bat with a spine and not crumble.

The rest of this session will probably decide the outcome. If we get to team without losing a wicket then great, if we start to collapse it could well be the case that the Aussies are chasing 150 odd (possibly even less) with most of monday to do it.

the umps haven't conferred about the light for ages, and the commentators reckon it's good enough for it not to be offered.

england being 4/60 just after tea and things will be interesting icon_biggrin.gif

Hopefully England get offered the light.
