Australia vs England 3rd Test - Perth
Day 1
Honours even after day 1
England won the toss and elected to bat , they had to control the morning session and not let the Australian bowlers get the upper hand like they have done in the previous two tests , and Micheal Vaughan will be happy at stumps on day 1.
A slow start from the vistors seemed to take the fizz out of the Australian pace attack and just when England looked comfortable Stuart Clark got the breakthrough having Strauss trapped lbw for 15 , Strauss had faced 84 balls for his 15 , Alisdair Cook battled away along with Vaughan who was keen to impress after some harsh words from the media , Vaughan got to 29 before being hit plum lbw off Watson , regular wickets fell but England were not collapsing like before and got to 211-5 at close , Cook hitting is 2nd 50 of the tour.

The Australian reply started slowly ,and Hoggard got a breakthrough trapping Langer lbw for 23 , Poting hit a rapid 26 before going all round a Panesar delivery this put Mike Hussey to the crease but a exellent catch at gully by Flintoff had him on his way ,Australia then had a good spell of play with Hayden(58) and Clarke(45) looking in top notch to see out the day on 167-3

Aussies in great position! Some regular gud partnerships are needed for England. But i feel, Aussies can make this easily.
Australia vs England 3rd Test - Perth
Day 4
Australia near reclaiming the ashes
Australia need a further 58 runs on the final day of the 3rd tset at Perth to take the series and reclaim the ashes , England battled away but were always struggling to overcome the Australian`s huge 1st innings total , starting the day on 16-1 England knew a few early wickets could mean the end before day 5. A good solid start saw Vaughan & Cook go after McGrath & Lee , Ponting made a double change bringing in Watson & Clark and it immediatly payed dividends when Watson bowled a beauty at Cook who edged to Hayden at 1st slip for 29 ,Clark also struck a few overs later taking the scalp of captain Vaughan for 34 expertly caught by Michael Clarke at 3rd slip ,Clark then had Bell removed lbw for 5 and the alarm bells were ringing ,Pietersen played supberbly along with Flinoff and Collingwood , the trio all hitting knocks in the 40s but they needed someone to hit a big knock but the hosts stayed on top Read out for duck must be fearing for his place ,the tail except Harmison blown away ,England 255 ,leaving Australia needing 82 to win the ashes .
In the 30 minutes left of play there was drama as England came out fighting leaving Australia reeling on 24-2 , Hayden(8) and Langer(5) early casualties ,Ponting & Hussey will hope to see out the reaminging 58 tomorrow with ease.

Day 5
Australia clinch series and the Ashes
Austraila took 19 overs of day 5 to claim back the ashes ,starting the day needing 58 runs at 24-2 it looked like they were going to make a hash of things as England threw everything at them , captain Ricky Ponting went out to a plum lbw for 19 off Hoggard then 3 balls later Hoggard clean bowled Michael Clarke for a duck leaving them on 46-4 ,a few boundries from Gilchrist calmed things and he and Hussey played out the winning runs giving Australia a 3-0 unasailalbe lead in the series and more importantly the retrurn of the Ashes .

Yet again great win for Aussies! Only Hoggard seemed to threaten but i guess Aussies lost those 4 wickets only in excitement to win Ashes 
Excellent Aussies

" Dissapointed to have lost the test and the ashes with still two more tests to play ,i feel we played our best of the tour so far but once again we let players come in down the order and hit quick fifties which in the end we can`t reply to , myself and the players will try our upmost to try and win the final two tests and go back to England with out heads held high .
As the for the line -up for Melbourne its unlikely there will be any changes"
John Buchanan
"Delighted , the boys deserved it , and they are confident of doing the whitewash ,again we batted exellent with Clarke & Hayden is supberb form then the guys down the order getting some quick runs ,our bowlers bowled exellent line and length , i felt Stuart Clark was awesome ,looking forward to Melbourne in a few days , having had the same X1 for the first three tests i may now that we have secured the ashes try out some of the other lads."
