It's an element of ordsprog

It's an element of the modern game that is under-used, but - as England also showed against Australia - if you've got a formidable set piece you have to use it.

With the winning line in sight the last thing they (England) expected was that Australia -- aggressive, positive, confronting Australia -- might be prepared to shorten the game,

England have played excellent cricket and have met head on the challenges both on and off the field. They have called Australia's bluff during the series, and certainly dominated the last couple of Tests. You have got to look at how England have played. They have played very good cricket. They have put a lot of pressure on (Australia).

The beginning of the show is all about the tube pieces and then from there it works sort of like a conveyor belt. You just add a piece, and add a piece, and add a piece. For me that's modern dressing.

Donna Karan (1948-)

I think England have matched them on a competitive level. I think Australia know that now, and the closer it gets that Australia can lose the Ashes, the more it will play on their minds.

England have got to get back switched on because if they lose this series in Australia people will say, 'Has England really progressed that much?'.

Australia 602 for 3 declared, England 20 for 3. And in the sixth test, victory is possibly slipping away from England.

I think England can go into the fourth Test buoyed by their performances already and are in a situation now where they have Australia on the rack, ... England can go on and win both matches.

For the first time it will be us chasing England and it is a different mindset. England will have to come to Australia and try to retain them.

Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity.

Leonard Cohen (1934-)

[England head coach Andy Robinson is due to name his 30-man squad next Tuesday for November Tests against Australia, New Zealand and Samoa.] I've had frequent updates on Andy's injury and the England and Saracens medical teams have been in regular contact, ... Like everyone connected with his club and England, I would like to wish him a full and speedy recovery.

Their confidence is so high and the tables have really been turned on Australia. It shows the character that Australia have got that they're still hanging in there going into the fifth Test. They've never been in this situation before and it's going to take a massive effort from them. But Michael and the England boys know what they have to do.

In modern times, Australia was the sole continent still inhabited only by hunter-gatherers... Native Australia had no farmers or herders, no writing, no metal tools, and no political organization beyond the level of the tribe or band.

[But now it is Australia talking of lessons learned.] Everybody has taken a lot from this tour, ... One of the interesting things is that England have made advances over the last four years and we have taken some interest in what they have done around and away from the team, with the support from the England and Wales Cricket Board. Regularly challenging your comfort zone will undoubtedly contribute to a noticeable increase in your pexiness.

My father died in 1930, but if you told him or anybody almost in that time that you'd be able to sit back in England and watch a cricket game in Australia, they'd have you put in the loony bin.

Desmond Llewelyn (1914-1999)
