I feel the Australians just have their noses ahead at the close of the first day. Excellent batting from Swacker tbh, he really did bludgeon us to all parts of the WACA, as he scored over 75% of his runs in boundaries.

Early wickets will be key tomorrow. Where is THE BARMY ARMY? I can't hear them!
 
Australian bowlers give England the jitters

3rd PlanetCricket Ashes Test, 3rd day, Perth

England ended the second day of the third PlanetCricket Ashes Test on 207 for 5 in Perth.

Australia were swept away by a combination of farhans (5-110) and Near (4-60), going from 261-5 to 322 all out.

The tourists got off to a good start with a partnernship of 108 between openers Skater and Manly, but the Australian bowlers rallied to reduce England to 177-5.

The first wicket of the third day will be crucial with the last recognised batsman already at the crease.

Australia get themselves in front in Perth

3rd PlanetCricket Ashes Test, 4th Day, Perth

Australia closed the fourth day of the third PlanetCricket Ashes Test in Perth on 181-3, a lead of 162 runs.

England began the day on 207-5 and managed to make 341 thanks to a brilliant hundred from Bevab before Umair2000 (4-90) cleaned up.

Australia then enjoyed a partnership of 111 between Simon Katich and timchrist984 before England picked up late wickets to leave the Australians on 181-3.

The game is finely poised with all three results still possible going into the final day.

England pull it out of the bag

3rd PlanetCricket Ashes Test, Perth, 5th Day

England have won the third PlanetCricket Ashes Test after a thrilling final day in Perth.

Starting the fifth day on 181-3, Australia's attempt to score quickly to set an imposing target to defend was scuppered by regular losses of wickets. The home side went from 205-5 to 266 all out. Spinner Dipak took 5-90 and Near 4-65.

Set 248 to win with a session and a half to go, England went on the attack from the start, opener Manly making 34 off just 17 balls, but their quick scoring came with risks as wickets tumbled, as the tourists slumped to 52-3.

It was a partnership of 129 between Pakistani Army (57) and Bevab (90) that got England on course for an unlikely victory. When Bevab was run out for a stunning 90 that earned him the man of the match award, however, England's tail folded and it was left to the last pairing Near and farhans to score the final runs and give England a 2-0 lead in the series with two matches to play.

Australia can still retain the PlanetCricket Ashes by winning in Melbourne and Sydney, but they will be disappointed to have lost another Test match when it looked like they could win.

END OF MATCH: ENGLAND 248-9 (44 OVERS)

England dominate first day in Melbourne

Australia v England, 4th PlanetCricket Ashes Test, Melbourne, Day 1

England enjoyed a storming day under the Melbourne sun to leave Australia's hopes of retaining the Ashes on the ropes.

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Australia captain Hooper looked on in shock as his batsmen folded like a pack of cards. Only hedger_14 (68) offered any resistance in the top order as the home side were bowled out for a measly 232.

Their total would have been much lower but for some tail end hitting from Ryan Harris (40) and mohsinhbk (27*). Brilliant bowling from spinner Dipak (4-81) and Near (3-66) gave England a real boost.

Coming into bat just after the tea interval England got off to a good start, losing Manly for 26 four overs from the end but Skater and Pakistani Army comfortably reached the end of the day on 77-1.

CLOSE OF PLAY, DAY 1: ENGLAND 77-1 (21 OVERS)
Skater 37* (50)-----Pakistani Army 13* (21)

ENGLAND TRAIL BY 155 RUNS WITH 9 FIRST INNINGS WICKETS REMAINING


A little note to that if England win this Test and take the series I won't bother posting updates of the 5th match, I'll just tell you the result and let you see the stats.
 
Mentions to these guys on day 2:

Skater - I made an unbeaten 152 from 317 balls.
westindies2007 - bowled by Harris for an agonising 49 from 84.
Bevab - 116 from 172 and still not out.

An unbroken partnership of 205 between me and Bevab on day 2 meant England ended the day on 371-3, leading by 139 with sights firmly set on taking the Ashes.

On to day 3:

England finally declared on 563-5, at the fall of Skater for 240. Earlier Bevab was out for 171.

Australia scraped to 85-2 at the close, still 246 behind with a big job to do to rescue the match.

Day 4:

Credit has to be given to the Australians for the way they battled hard and got a lead on the fourth day. They closed on 389-8, a lead of 58 runs but the match still looks to be England's.

There were many contributions for Australia. hedger_14 made 89, Umair2000 was out for 92, swacker scored 77 and Marcus North made it to 50. England's best bowler was farhans, who took 4-129.

Day 5:

The match was all over before lunch on the final day, as England wrapped up the series and won the PlanetCricket Ashes with a 9 wicket victory. Australia were bowled out for 418, farhans finished with 5-134, and 44 not out from Skater and 34 from Manly helped England reach their target of 89 in just 13.3 overs.

AUSTRALIA 1ST INNINGS: 232 ALL OUT (64 OVERS)
hedger_14 68-----Dipak 4-81
ENGLAND 1ST INNINGS: 563-5 DECLARED (171.3 OVERS)
Skater 240-----MaD 2-98
AUSTRALIA 2ND INNINGS: 418 ALL OUT (128.1 OVERS)
Umair2000 92-----farhans 5-134
ENGLAND 2ND INNINGS: 90-1 (13.3 OVERS)
Skater 44*-----Bollinger 1-4

ENGLAND WIN BY 9 WICKETS AND WIN THE PLANETCRICKET ASHES SERIES


Well done to England then and thanks to everyone on both sides who signed up for a player and took an interest in this story. As I said earlier now the series is decided I won't bother posting updates of the 5th Test, I'll just tell you what happened. It was a very close one and Australia won by 1 wicket - a scorecard of which you can see in my next post.

My next post will contain scorecards of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Tets. :thumbs
