Australia vs England

Preview

England still have the upper hand going into the final two Tests of an enthralling Ashes series, needing only one more victory to retain the coveted urn against Australia.

Australia go into Sunday’s fourth Melbourne Test fuelled by the momentum from their emphatic 267-run victory in Perth, which levelled the series at 1-1. But they cannot afford a slip-up in the last two matches.

“We always talk about the last two Tests in a series being where things are won and lost,” England skipper Andrew Strauss said on Friday.

“The first few games set it up and the last couple bring it home. That is the challenge for us.”

England looked poised for their first series triumph Down Under since 1986-87 after an innings victory in the second Adelaide Test, before Ricky Ponting’s team hit back spectacularly in the third Test at the WACA.

Teams:

 

Australia: SR Watson, PJ Hughes, RT Ponting (capt), MJ Clarke, MEK Hussey, BJ Haddin (wk), SPD Smith, MG Johnson, RJ Harris, PM Siddle, BW Hilfenhaus

England: AJ Strauss (capt), AN Cook, IJL Trott, KP Pietersen, PD Collingwood, IR Bell, MJ Prior (wk), TT Bresnan, GP Swann, JM Anderson, CT Tremlett

Day 1 report

AUSTRALIA’S Ashes campaign is terminally ill after a humiliating opening day to the fourth Test at the MCG.

Before a bumper Boxing Day crowd of 84,345 the Australians were sent in and skittled for 98 – the only time they have been dismissed for under under three figures in the first innings of an Ashes Test – and were then made to look innocuous with the ball as England romped to 0-157 in reply by stumps.

It proved the perfect day for England captain Andrew Strauss.

He won the toss and his seamers destroyed the brittle Australian batting before he cruised to 64 not out in yet an

    yeah, i also feel gutted about that loss … well, we can just hope that the icc makes it mind up about the referrals … if they cant do that at this point in time, then let the home team decide whether they want it or not and inform their opponents accordingly within reasonable time until the icc have done their homework on the system and can then decide around it!!
    this second test, and really the two poor decision on day four, have shown that we need a system that can reverse such poor decisions!

    opinion from someone on supersport’s site (i’m using it because he express what i tried to say very well)
    ..
    ……”India played well, and while I cant sit here and say that SA DESERVED to win, I CAN say that without the dodgey calls, they would’ve had the opportunity to…and then it would’ve been a great fight.
    In my opinion, the ONLY reason you would choose to not use the referral system, would be if you are sure that it works against you. And if it works against you, it must mean that without it, you are getting the benefits of bad calls. If you are supposed to be best in the world, why choose to hide behind bad calls?”
