I'm amazed that some Mudcatters can't see what's staring them right in the face; the Aussies are flat out trying to save their (very considerable) reputation, but it's clearly a case of "King Canute".

The cracks are there for all to see. Without the genius of Shane Warne those cracks will open up big time, so it's only a matter of time.

Shane Warne is the only man now standing between England and the No 1 spot in world cricket. It will take a fair slice of luck (eg Rain/the toss of 2 coins) for them not to relinquish the ashes, and the momentum is firmly with England now. Imagine what will happen after Kevin gets some catching practice!
