So far so good! Looks like this may end up a draw if rain plays spoilsport, but hopefully England would get the chance to go for the kill!

still 1-0 up but a bit concerned that Brett Lee may be fit for the next test on Friday.
Flintoff is really struggling with his aches and pains now

4th test, didn't even last 4 days. England look like they have absolutely nothing good enough in their arsenal to stop the Aussies now [img=/images/smiley/msn/sad_smile.gif][/img]
looks as if Bopara,Bell and Collingwood are all going to get the boot for the last test at the Oval with Key,Trott and Flintoff all coming into the team.

they were shockingly bad at the weekend and only Broad and Swann showed any resistance in the 2nd innings.
I'm OK with Bopara being dropped and making way for Flintoff if he's fit , or someone else like Trortt. But Collingwood should be retained I believe, same with Bell.
dare i believe that England reclaim The Ashes today?

It depends. If England bowl badly, the Australians will get about 300 runs today and only lose a wicket or two. But if they're patient and bowl well, England win it today or early tomorrow. If the former scenario, Australia could still be looking to get 150 runs tomorrow on a rapdily deteriorating wicket, so England could still win it even if they have a bad day today. And when I say England, I of course mean South Africa, where al their best players are from :)
