Man of the Series

[Zinzan]

Cook, slightly ahead of Trott & Anderson at this stage, Hussey & Tremlett outsiders if they do something freakish

[Prince EWS]

It's player of the series, not player who retains Ashes. If Hussey greatly helps Australia win this test and the series is tied, than I'd definitely give it to him.

If Hussey scores and Australia don't win, it'll depend also what Cook does I reckon.

But it's definitely only between those two IMO.

Personally would never give the award to a player from the losing team. If it's 2-2 it's up for grabs though obviously.

[Howe_zat]

Cook 130*, basically nailed on now.

[stephen]

Cook 130*, basically nailed on now.

Pretty much. He's been a rock at the top of the order really. As the commentators were saying earlier, it was only when he failed twice in the Perth test that Australia have won.

[Burgey]

Has to be Herman Munster now.

Him or Doherty.

[zaremba]

Who's Herman Munster? I know that's what they used to call Oram but I can't work out who they sing that tune for in this series

[Burgey]

Its just what I've called Cook given his guyliner and longish face with the square jaw.

And the bolts in his neck

[vcs]

Has to be Cook now, I guess, unless Hussey produces something superlative in the 2nd innings. Apparently he has batted 35 hours in this series.

[flibbertyjibber]

Jimmy to get 10 in 2nd innings and pip Cook.

[Zinzan]

Fair to say any doubt about Cook winning it is well & truly dispelled

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, if there was any doubt, it's been well and truly settled now, even if Anderson takes all ten in the second dig.

[GotSpin]

What if Hussey scores a double and takes 10fer.

[Prince EWS]

What if Hussey scores a double and takes 10fer.

Haha yeah then I'd give it to Hussey as long as Australia won the game.

[Jono]

Any semblance of a debate on this has been Cook'd now.

Worst ****.
