| Good to see Clarke get some runs, with Lee, Clark and McGrath left Australia should pass Englands first innings score.

| Just listening to TMS - commentry can be heard on Short wave in Vietnahm, OF won't be pleased when just a 1000 miles away - he can get no commentry. A draw is now inevitable.

As for England being over confident - I doubt that on this pitch.

| Australia all out for 513. So England lead by 38. Fantastic bowling from Hoggard, 7 wickets on this pitch is probably man of the match stuff, even with Collingwood's double hundred. No real chance of a result now unless England are skittled. |

| Well batted Clarke and Gilchrist and extremely well bowled Hoggard who deserves the MOM award for that effort on such a batting paradise.Just a shame he had no help from anyone else.England can't win now so they may as well just bat all day tomorrow and put more strain on the old limbs of McGrath and Warne. I just hope we don't collapse as the series is going to be interesting if we go to Perth at 1-0 and if it goes 2-0 the series will be over and not much of a spectacle. |

| What a boring match on a completely useless pitch  Really, the groundsman should be sacked - this is the 4th day, and batting is still relatively easy.

| At last some movement with a new ball.Only taken 4 days.  |

| and then they say sub continental pitches are flat lol.... well played Australia... their last few batsmen made quite a lot of runs... maybe due to the fact that flintoff could not bowl? his ankle is strained again says sky sports.. Hoggard carried the whole attack and took 7 wickets Aus all out for 513

| Painstakingly boring, cricket is so much better when the bowler is on top & when the batsmen are, it's only watchable when one certain Adam Gilchrist is at the crease. |

| Is Ian Healy off his rocker? He is saying that England will have a lead of around 100 tonight and they could push for victory tomorrow.Yeah right on a pitch that has seen 16 wickets in nearly 4 full days England will be able to bowl out Australia in around 2 sessions.I think he may have been on the Fosters.  |
