I reckon a draw... it's been hammering it down today (and forecast for the next few).
If so, that would be a great result, as I fancy England at the Oval (fast pitch, abrasive for the reverse swing, england have a good record there).
It's a shame they dropped Gillespie, he's been Englands best player this series. I must admit to contributing to that though, as Dizzy stated the England fans have wrecked his confidence. He was fielding near where I sat at Old Trafford, and I did enjoy applauding his every mistake

according to the news here - mcgrath and gillespie out, tait and kasper in. My pick is draw due to weather, if the weather holds - we win.

After the last two tests ive given up predictions as those of you who been following these threads will know 
The important thing for England is what they take from the Old Trafford draw, hopefully they will see it as a great performance that they wouldve won but for the weather (lets just ignore the last over from Harmison), and carry on where they left off, but dont forget that Australia have yet to put in a very good batting performance, is it coming at Trent Bridge?
Even with a draw we might just do it at the Oval, but thank god we finally have a contest on our hands the last 20 years have been painfull to say the least.

Austalier are going to take the series 3-1 I thinks. If we had won at old trafford we would have won. If there had been only a 3 day gap between the 3rd and 4th tests we would have won. lucky aussies....

Well looking at things, the Aussie bowling is all out of whack now and they are going to blood Tait! If he hits his straps on debut, like Warne and Gillespe did years ago, we'll be in trouble - if he is still crap on English pitches, then we'll win whether we bat first or second.

That Tait guy seems interesting has replaced our run supply: Jason gillespie. Mcgrath has been out of sorts since his injury and the new injury hes got its probably a good idea for the aussies to put kasper in. i think its gonna be really entertaining this is certainly the most gripping ashes ive ever seen. im picking a draw due to the weather but i would liek to see england lift the ashes

Im not so sure about the news last night ... all of em saying we had a very comfortable 219 for 4 ... that don't seem comfortable to me!
I really hope we can scr.a.p.e 400 but cr.a.cking 350 is realistic to me. It depends on if Pietersen can keep his passion in check and not keep trying 6's I guess 
Up the England!

Yep ... a tremendous innings, sadly now over. 418 on the board as the Oz break into our tail; let's see if they can wag us along towards 500.

Australia 99-5
A couple of poor decisions, particularly an unfortunate Damien Martyn (but I have no sympathy after his claimed catch off Strauss at Old Trafford clearly bounced in his hands). England a long way better than Australia did though, bowled a full length and let the ball swing and hit the pads 20 times already this innings and maybe had a couple of legitimate LBWs turned down. Australia bowled too short and had fewer LBW shouts in the entire England innings than England have managed so far.
Unlike Baldour, I'm not going to make a prophetic statement that will come back to my face in the egg-shaped form, but England are definitely way on top.
Any comment yet Omber?

Lol Superb,
Field substitute Pratt has run out Ricky Ponting. Aimed a throw at the stumps.
Pratt is one of the famous Pratt brothers. Famous for not changing their names by deed-poll upon reaching the age of 18 .

Big storm in a tea-cup tommorrow. Ponting was none too pleased with Englands' use of the substitute fielder - he was effing and blinding at the England balcony and fielders as he walked off the park. I sense sour grapes - but I'm sure the match referee will have something to say about it after close of play.
They don't like it up 'em!

He doesn't have a leg to stand on, like Simon Jones who is currently in hospital having a scan on his ankle. England would not leave off their star performing bowler from the first innings for a sub fielder. Whinging Ponts.

They'll get a hundred or so lead which we'll knock off on Sunday afternoon/evening, it'll be great watching, especially because it'll be on at Carnival everywhere I bet.
Oops - have I jinxed it now?
Oh and the draw is 5/1 against if you're interested, England 2/5-ish, Aus a not very tempting 7/1.

Well I agree. If we really wanted to "cheat", we would have Collingwood as 12th man not a Pratt!

He's already apologised anyway .. he knows he was out of order. He was just ticked off, and took it out on the England pavilion.
There is a fundamental disagreement on how this "12th man" thing should work though. In Oz, you select a squad of 12, and the guy who doesn't make the team of 11, is the substitute fielder. We don't do it that way, we ask whichever county isn't playing this week, to send the best fielder they have. It must be within the rules, or we wouldn't be allowed to do that - but the Aussies don't do it that way and don't really think it SHOULD be allowed, which is what ticked him off. He knows perfectly well he shouldn't have gone off the handle, though.

Absolutely. It's similar to Rugby Union where the two hemispheres have totally different interpretations of the driving maul and crossing.

I have to say, hats off to the Australians. They've been splattered all over the field for the last three tests, and they damn near won two of them, and forced a draw in the third.
Just goes to show why they are the world champions. You can beat them hollow in 14 out of 15 sessions of a Test match, and still lose the game.
A major achievement for England - we cannot lose this Ashes series. That's already our best result for 18 years. Now to the Oval, to finish the job and bring the little urn back to Lord's from - errr, Lord's, because the MCC won't allow it to be moved

Don't worry, I've hired out a load planes to do some cloud seeding over the Oval for the next 10 days.
