Aussies seem to have been holding up will until Flinters ran out Mr. Ponting in such spectacular style. Tail end collapse was pretty spectacular but the pressure must have been immense! Harmisson so close to the hat trick as well!

Good to see a more sportsmanlike attitude from the crowd than has always been the case, probably easier to be magnanimous in the face of victory though.

Wonder what the folks who have pre-bought Monday tickets get to do?

I pay for Sky and IMO is worth every penny, the traditional channels would never give the coverage that the sport deserves. The BBC and MotoGP is proof, Eurosport covered the whole event, BBC just cherry pick the main race !

I pay for the basic Sky package and get MotoGP coverage on Eurosport as part of that deal, if I wanted to watch the cricket I needed to pay for an additional sport channel which is largely full of poxy football so not worth the extra IMO.
