Ashes - Day 5, Perth

It looks increasingly likely that I will be wearing an Aussie cricket shirt soon. I woke to the radio alarm and, after a minute of listening to a news piece suddenly said "that's not good" as I realised what I wasn't listening to was cricket. That meant that it was all over, England had lost again. Of the last 6 wickets, 5 of them mananged to only score a total of 6 runs between them. It was another humiliating collapse. Pietersen could only watch as the support dropped from around him and he was left the last man standing with a score of 60. From a stable position yesterday we managed to lose the game, only scoring a total of 85 for the final 5 wickets. Yes the Aussies are a good team, yes they are playing well, but they are getting an awful lot of assistance from the England team.
