What a finish we have in store!
A few things:
1. Strauss should've of said he wasn't 100% sure the catch was clean and as a result, the decision referred. End of. How do the umpires not use the technology on offer when there has to be an element of doubt about the decision. Has to be.
2. We will win this if we can see of Flintoff and the new ball. I have no doubt.
3. Michael Clarke's innings will be one of the best efforts of All-time if he can steer us home. A career defining moment for our next test captain. Arguably overdue. Haddin's performance in this dig is not to be understated either. What a partnership they have going, awesome to have watched most of it unfold (paid for it today).
4. Mitch Johnson should be dropped. He ain't handling the English conditions well at all and he is too expensive. I know he has been great, especially in SA, though in a pivotal 3rd Test, I don't think we can carry him again. Bring in Stuart Clark or Brett Lee. I am not saying he is gone for good, for now though, I think we can 'rest' him and look at alternatives. With that said, he will come good again.
5. How good was Flintoff in that first spell last night? Awesome. Sad to see him leaving the Test arena. Would've been scarier had England chosen Harmison too.
