ball swinging today and aussie bowlers showing some backbone at last

johnson is more like his old self again - hot or cold as usual and someone has had a good word in his ear, looks confident and aggressive

90 odd for 4, time for colly to get some runs and bell/prior to help out or aussies could end up with surprising 1st inns lead...

perth is a result wicket though and this one is tough to call now altho johnson has just picked up colly so 5 down and under 100... aussies showing some terrific attitude at last

makes the whole series interesting again now (and our 2-2 bets!)

Yes match is now back on,has now swung into Australia favour.

Got a feeling 2nd innings will be high scores again Very Happy

Which will make it more interesting.
Hope it goes to the 5th day.. Smile

Which i think will end up in a draw.

Love the ashes it is unpreditable,swung England way, when 69-5 now Australia
have the Advantage..

no way this is ending a draw underdogs, I really don't see either team batting for much longer than a day.

Don't see scores being all that high and definately hope Australia don't score high!

wasn't happy at all to wake up and see Watson at the crease Lose

Oh well look like Australia has won the 3rd test.. Very Happy

390 odd to win up hill task??

But who knows England got 500 last time round Cheeky

But doubt it. if they do it in catch up.

Well 4th test will more interesting as it be 1 - 1 now.
Everything to play for.

Thats what i like about the Ashes its unpreditable Very Happy

not a great start, both openers out.

Trott and KP our South African duo need to take after what the Saffers national team are doing at the moment and knock up some big scores.

Need some sensible stuff now to see them make it to close of play.

Big task and not amazingly likely but should be a great day 4 to watch.
