Strange captaincy from Ponting I thought, perservering with the bowlers like he did, not seen such inept death bowling since Harmison's efforts at the end of the Old Trafford test in 05.

Good work from our last two to hang in there, but a hell of a lot to work on before next week.

Oh, and that is what cricket is all about, more tension and excitement there than any T20 can provide.

Well done Monty and Jimmy.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one thinking we were f*cked when Colly went.

You're not wrong there...for him to have a go about England not playing to the spirit of the game when he brazenly claimed that "catch" off Collingwoods pads is very much a case of Hello Mr Kettle I'm Mr Pot...now where's Gary Pratt when you need him, finish him off!!

No.

(But we didn't lose either, and thats what counts.)

Well done to the tail and Colly. Good effort was very much backs to wall and we did well to hang in there.

Wouldn't surprise me if Harmison gets a call-up for Lords.
