Yes, you have to beat the opponet to take the ashes from them. Since Australia currently has it, England has to beat them to regain it back. A tie will keep things as is, which is Ashes in the hands of Australia.

Australia needs to improve their bowling in the last match to win!

If Jones is unfit to play they are thinking of bringing in Collingwood .... bad idea, they should bring in Tremlett.

Well. James Anderson will probably play.
There is Paul Collingwood but I am pretty sure England will stick with the same system of 5 bowlers that has won them so many tests in the past 18 months or so.
For James Anderson, his first spell will be crucial. If he gets carted his confidence will drain and it could be another shocker for him. I am confident he will surprise a few people though, although it is a bit of a dicy risk playing him.
Anyway, heavy rain is forecast for Friday and Saturday.

Let it rain out and wash the test away ! Let England get the ashes back, its just a return favor to England the Rain God is doing, He has already saved Aussies once this series.
Go England Go !

There will be one final twist to the tale for the jubilant english fans already queing up in front of the trafalgar square. Champions stand up and be counted when it really matters. No question about it...the Oval test will be the biggest test for all the Aussie cricketers. And this aussie lineup, from 1-11 are filled with champions. A lot has been said about the passing of the torch and the end of an era, but some of these aussies wont see it fit to retire their baggy greens by losing to their english counterparts. my prediction an aussie win and 2-2 series

The Trafalgar Square parade was a false alarm. Nothing has been arranged, the use of Tralagar Square has just been offered to be th ECB, it hasn't been accepted as yet.
Good.
And about Australia being full of champions. Sorry, but Tait is not yet a champion, nor is Katich and argueably Clarke

Tomorrow test will probably be a great one: for some of the Australians (Warne, McGrath, Langer, Gilchrist) this will be the last Ashes game they play and probably the last chance to play a great test. So we can guess they will give all they can to get that win to keep the Ashes and stay unbeaten in the series.
On the other hand England are in their best time since... '86? and BBC site reports that the feeling for the sports-fans in the country is similar to the 1966 football world cup win.
As a neutral cricket fan I just wish to see a very competitive test to be decided on the last delivery of the last day! Win the best!
