Except it's not, as you could win a test match without taking any wickets, or even take 19 less and still win....
Have i missed something blatantly obvious? AS this doesn't make sense
It does make sense sort of - if the winning team were the 4th innings chasers and previosuly in the game the losing team had declared twice whilst setting a score/making a game off it. |

Unfortunately, whilst we made 517-1 in this innings, there was an innings before it in which we were less than impressive ourselves! That said, if we can play properly in the 2nd test you've got to fancy our chances now!
All very true. Shame we were awful in the first innings. That said if it wasn't for Haddin and Hussey partnership i'd hazard a guess that maybe we could have won this game. At least we have got the momentum back now though. I've never seen an Aussie side drop so many easy catches as they did on the last day. |

Awful's a bit harsh.
Only Strauss and Prior got out to shit shots imo.

The next test is tomorrow! The weather is good here and predicted to get hotter... not good news for me!!
Went down to the next session this morning, bloody Aussies were there... But I did see the one and only Mitch Johnson... bowl a nice little bouncer to Ponting, was good to see him move that quickly!
I have a good feeling for this game, come on England!!!

I see the Aussies have dropped Johnson. Haha. He was wank in the first test though to be fair. Think we'll go with the same side tbh.

Strong suggestions that they've dropped Hilfenhaus as well. Ryan Harris is a terrific bowler, but that seems incredibly harsh on Hilfenhaus, and would mean that three of their supposedly first choice four have been dropped before the second test. If I was Siddle I'd be shitting it.
No team news for England yet- comes down to Finn's fitness I think, obviously can't gauge that from here but wouldn't mind seeing Tremlett or Shahzad.

England unchanged, Aussies batting on a flat track with two bowling changes.
Bad toss to lose I suspect.

I have a very good feeling about this. Aussie collapse coming up.
