England win the toss and bat.
Finn chosen over Bresnan
Australia do a Darren Pattinson and select Ashton Agar in their team.

I did like how the winning margin was less than the number of runs added by Broad after he was given not out on Friday. |  | | |

Just watched the highlights having been in work all day.
Wonderful win and love the fact that it was a half arsed appeal that was overturned by DRS. |  |

Good job he did nick it!?!
A brilliant test match, roll on Thursday! |  | | |

Yes,marvellous fare,never a dull moment in the game,loads of controversy,but let`s not forget so many memorable performances by so many players on both sides. Still think they have to sort out this referrals thing,but that shouldn`t detract from the game as it was one of the best I can remember. Like the man said,test cricket will never die when they produce games like this. Let`s hope for four more crackers before they meet again in Oz later in the year. |  | | |

The referral thing is fine however you cannot judge for the idiots using it.
1. Agar run out first innings. If the 4th umpire gives not out when all evidence shows that the batsman is out, what can you do?
2. Trott LBW. Not out verdict on the field. Video evidence to show that Trott hit it. No hotspot available. If the 4th umpire ignores everything the referral system is about and gives the batsman out, what can you do?
3. Broad caught at slip. If the Australian team use their referrals up (unsuccessfully) and then miss out on one, what can you do?
You can put the best systems and processes in place but you can't judge for the amazing stupidity of mankind. | |

Wasn't Agar stumped?
I think you've introduced an extra official as well, DL. 
Some good points though. And, having read and listened to some of the Australian media, I think they should be limited to two DRS stories per day! |  |

Aye, stumped and 3rd official, my bad.
Another bad thing in all of this is Michael Clarke. Bumface would have been spitting feathers if the Gary Pratt run out is anything to go by. Clarke has been too darned nice about it all.

Agree about Clarke
I'm expecting him to burst into tears at some point, ala Kim Hughes in the 1980's |  |

I,too, thought the same about Clarke and how differently Ponting would have been to that result.
Convict bastards. |  |
