I'd have thought the first 6 names on the batting lineup were pretty solid. It's the bowling lineup and the WK that needs some work.

Phew, days like these make me soo glad to be a SA fan, even if we can't beat the Aussies either, at least it isn't so soul destroying and we aren't expected to compete..

Even Gillespie went better last year.

But seriously though, what is the point of Giles being in the team? I mean, they say that he can bat, but he was out for a duck today. They say that Monty's a bad fielder, but Giles dropped Ponting on 35, which cost England 107 runs. And then Monty can actually take wickets.

Nevertheless Fletcher even *after* the match was talking in present tense about Giles being a better choice for his abilities at 8...

I can't believe one match got 103 pages of replies. Now that's crowded.

That's astonishing. Surely they can't name an unchanged lineup for Perth can they?

I think this Test really might have destroyed England. To get outplayed completely and lose in Brisbane was one thing, but to dominate for much of this game, and to compete more than evenly for most of the rest of it and STILL lose is another thing entirely.

I doubt the world cup will beat the number of posts the Ashes has.

What a tool. Who are the likely candidates for replacing him as coach once England go down 5-0, as they will he continues with the current selection policies?

There was a big story in the Sunday Mail about Darren Lehmann being the next England coach.

The color of immortality, nature and envy - you are truly a unique person. While clearly the color of nature, you also symbolize rebirth, fertility and hope in the world. On the other side of the spectrum, a natural aptitude to money with green coming to signify money and possibly even *********!

I honestly don`t know where to start. I feel so sorry for the English supporters.
