Love the finish. Got to stick it up a lot of poms and pom lovers. Great effort from all the boys. England are truly demoralised and will never live this down. I hope they suffer for all the sledging they gave us last year. Cop that pieterson you pommy twat!

we have won 2 out of 2 at the moment ... AFAIK it's best of 5 games though.
So we are in a commanding position ... but it's not over yet.

You know what sucks about this. Is that the next test is in WA.

Now I know this will sound harsh, but the first three tests will be played where the smaller of the crowds will be.

So come Melbourne and Sydney, it could just be a dead rubber anyway...thats not going to be much fun to see!

They will be playing for there own averages and thats about it. The Boxing day test is very popular and it will be a shame if there is no feeling in it, or nothing riding on it.

So hopefully the Poms can take the next one.

But if the Poms win the next two in a row then I smell conspiracy!...LOL

Yeah, a bit like the Indy lead up to philip island. :P

I understand what you are saying, although, we here in SA have never had such an amazing result from what I can remember and to have it possibly tied up by Perth would be a great relief for me. I know punter will want to roll with the momentum and seal the win, then have some fun with them.

Ponting won the toss and aussies will bat first.

Poms - 2 changes; Panesar in for grandpa Simpson and Mahmood in for Anderson.

heres hoping its 3-0 come the 18th.
