Straus has been proved quite right, yesterday morning, when he delayed the declaration. He's now won by an innings.

Someone will probably know better than I, but is this the first time we have beaten them by an innings in Australia since 1912?

Ah, by an innings, missed that bit. I thought you just meant beating Aus! 
Good interview from Ponting again, I thought. He doesn't shy away from any questions.

Yeah, he's got to say that, though. At least two of those bowlers will be turning out for him at Perth. Doherty's offski, so no need to defend him but he's got to talk up the rest of them.
kp won it for us!!
ffs have you all fucked off now? you'll miss beefy's 'tale of the test' thingy he always does

I've been watching it/other stuff, too happy&tired to bother posting much!
guess what???Rain forecast all day today.Bad luck boys,so near yet so far
I'm just quoting this before I continue reading the rest of the thread
Right:
Wonderful, wonderful win. We lost 5 wickets to their 20. We have dominated the last seven days' play against them. Australia are absolutely fucking awful. They can't bat, bowl or field, they have no idea what their best team is, the captain lacks imagination and confidence in his team and the selectors are clueless. England are the complete reverse of this, they are well prepared, confident, have great team spirit and pretty much everyone is in form.
We will retain the Ashes at Perth and win the series in Melbourne. Australia have got nothing.
This five bowlers debate is bollocks though isn't it? The ONLY time you pick a fifth bowler is if you have someone as good as Botham who won't unbalance the side. Even Flintoff unbalanced the side and we won more without him than with him. If you can't do it with four, you won't do it with five, it's the sort of thing teams do when they're all at sea selection wise and haven't the bowlers to finish the job. Look out there this morning and you can see that we have got the bowlers to finish the job against this shower of shit. It's not even worth talking about.
England 4-0
