Really glad I stayed up to see that finish. Absolutely inspired stuff!

I'm really glad we beat the Aussies in 05 when they had Warne, Mcgrath etc...So people can't just say "Oh, well you've only beaten them at their weakest"...We've beaten them at their best with their best players and now we're doing to them what they have done to us for many years. Kicking them whilst their down in their own backyard.

Feels great! :D

Get in, had to really start fast last night and Swann was bang on the money nearly every ball.

Good job we did get it done early, the bad weather arrived just after lunch:

Lashing it down

Time for someone else to step up to the job now that Broad is done. If the pitches are going to get faster then Tremlett might be a bet, banging them in with his height.

Great moment when Siddle's wicket stayed intact despite a the ball hitting the base of the stumps, high pressured out there but a bit of banter was good to see.

Tremlett for Broad makes sense to me. Will Ponting stay as captain. Do we care? Great performance and I hope we can keep it going. One more win and the series could only be tied and we'll retain the ashes anyway. Love to win it outright though

Bresnan is more likely I would think, just because of the extra experience as well as being the better batsmen (not that we seem to need them at the moment!).

Can't see them producing a bouncy wicket which would be Tremlett's main threat - mind you, I don't know what wicket will suit them.

Whatever happens, it's a long way back for Oz to win 2 out of 3 now.
