Official Ashes Series Thread
Whatever remote chance Brad Hodge had of being selected for the Boxing Day Test has been extinguished by his mother. She has come out in today's Herald Sun blasting the national selectors for ignoring her son, and Victorians in general. In some instances, the sqeaky wheel gets the oil, however, I think in this case, the sqeaky wheel will be written off. I do sympathise and understand the frustrations, but the selectors will not look upon this favourably.

don't think so, Rama, England needed Cook to be there at the end of the day. Flintoff's form does not inspire confidence - although, no one last year would have tipped Justin Kemp to make a match saving 55 off 166 balls.
good to see Cook make a big score. he's looked a good batsman in each of his innings, but a few loose shots have been his downfall. a bit more luck today.
one thing England should be concerned about is why it took so long for the lights to come on. they were batting in terrible light for about 30 minutes.

In reality all we need is one wicket.
However Flintoff has got a hell of a lot to play for and we all know what Pietersan can do. All they need to do is put on 150 and the game becomes really interesting.
However one wicket early and the Urn is ours.
I was also stoked to see Cook ton up, he looks like a batsman.

There goes any interest left in this series. All the other games are now dead rubbers & I couldn't really give a stuff if we win in a white wash or not.
The Poms have been found wanting & have shot themselves in the foot with bad selections, bad tactics & ordinary batting. Now they will play their best keeper in Chris Read for the last 2 tests, & as everyone said after Monty played in this game, people will be saying 'why hasn't this bloke played all along?'
Hopefully we get a much more competitive Ashes series in 2009, which the Poms should win provided they have learnt some lessons from this tour.
