This timewasting accusation is ludicrous - just sour grapes. The aussies got off lightly and they know it - we were just itching to get them in with 13 runs on the board and only 10 wickets to fall. All we'd have needed is a couple of overs, no problem on a turning wicket and two spinners.

Our attack????We took 19 wickets to your 6.Your top order would only get a game for England.They would be flat out getting a game anywhere else
Not even the womens teamEngland don't pretend to be the best team in the world though. Fact remains that you failed to be a team you claim to be so inferior to yours as to be beneath contempt and then your captain throws his rattle about and moans about alleged timewasting which didn't even take any overs out of the match.Our attack????We took 19 wickets to your 6.Your top order would only get a game for England.They would be flat out getting a game anywhere else

actually it was a couple of overs in real time but who gives a shit.He was expected to say something about it by the ACB.Thats part of his tenure innit,to look out for his team.We dont care,we will thump you in the next game anyway
Just to prove we are better than you lolBTW check your spelling next time sonny

Typical cry baby Ponting.
Aussies are such whingers. Bloody whine all day long.
Bollocks was it! Were you actually watching? The only overs taken out of day were probably two when the physio had to be summoned to treat Swann after Siddle hit him with two bouncers, and you can't object to that. The alleged 'timewasting' lasted about 30 seconds.
You can prove anything with facts.
It wasn't even a very good attempt either.
who cares? Windies did it against us in the Caribbean, it's a smokescreen to distract attention from bowling North when they needed to get two tail enders out and their overly hopeful appealing in the closing overs (yeah, balls pitching outside off and going straight on and definite lbw shouts eh)
Those weren't even the most optimistic either; there was one on day 1 which hit the batsman three stumps outside off and got a vociferous appeal - even Monty Panesar wouldn't have gone up for that one.

Keep whinging mate.
We know deep down you're just embaressed you couldn't get monty/anderson out.Keep whinging mate.
I'd be more embarrassed that you had to rely on Monty's batting talents to save the test
It was mostly Colly's batting talents that saved the test.I'd be more embarrassed that you had to rely on Monty's batting talents to save the test

I think he's pretty much finished bowling wise TBH, one thing he could do is pack in 4/5 day cricket and only play for England in ODI's, take some pressure off his body he can't do 20 odd overs a day no more.

I agree but would be sad to see him leave test cricket, certainly shouldn't leave it during the ashes.

you prick
Well excuse me if i'm wrong, but as i recall WE got the ashes that we took off you last time having whipped your little pink arses, so you have to beat us to get them back.
So, besides the moral victory (heroic last-wicket partnership, we got more runs than you did, we only drew cos it pissed it down, etc. etc.) the draw effectively means we're 1-0 up in the series.
