in this case it seems like rain is saving england.

i watched yesterdays proceedings after lunch, exciting stuff. KP seems to be the most talented, commentators were saying how they could even ponder of replacing him with thorpe. anyway it seems like australians are pumped up as well. warne was bowling some beauties as was lee. KP seems to be the only one who played warne with conviction, his long stride helped him. but he was plumb infront of lee. england is touch lucky, the match could have finished yesterday if that lbw was given.

england may come back since it is a 5 test series. but i think after this match australia got a psychologicial advantage. gillespie is out of sorts , should be replaced with tait. if any of these wickets favor spin, australia should consider playing macgill with warne. it will be fun.

Not sure about playing Tait.

He is quick, but is known for being expensive as well, and the last time he played in England it was an absolute disaster for him, he was smashed all over and once bowled a 24 ball over!

It would be too bigger risk for Australia to play him before the series is won.

doesn't matter Tait plays or not ...........Brett Lee is on fire and in his recent interview he has perdicted a white wash 5-0 to england

The Aussies are just talking the talk.

Why would they say 3-1 or something? They would then be admitting that they will be beaten at some point.

Hopefully for England to Aussies are getting too ahead of themselves.
