    I think we will lose it

    McGrath in for Aussies, Jones out for us - thats a 2 player swing.
    weather should be OK
    its all going their way at the moment.

    and if we pick Anderson I will start to worry

    I think we might lose it too ...

    ... but we have to choose Anderson. We are 2-1 up through being positive and playing them at their own game. To pick Collingwood now is a defensive move in my view and the Aussies will pounce on us. Fight fire with fire, pick Anderson and give it your best shot. Crash and burn. Go down fighting.

    I havent the figures to hand

    but I believe their bowling averages are very similar this season. Cant say the same for their batting averages though. Gutted we have lost Jones - average 21 over the series so far

    Its all down to Warnes wrist action,if he can get the ball to come back quickly he could make a mess of the England batsmen

    It'll take a least an innings for the track to cut up

    should imagine all the Aussies close fielders have spikes on today, watch for them running through the crease whilst swapping sides unnecessarily.

    Brett Lee getting lots of swing. Might not need Warne. Agreed about cutting the pitch up though. Cnuts.

    McGrath and Warnes last test over here

    they will be giving it everything to end on high note.

    Agreed but they might try too hard? Lee already hit out of the attack.

    If we get 300+ and there's some rain draw looks good.
