Re: Ashes 2010
Out of Beer.
9.30am Hello and welcome to the third (and deciding?) Ashes Test at the WACA. If England win, the urn remains in their grasp. If Australia win, 1-1 heading to Boxing Day at the MCG will be a cracking scenario. A draw, though unlikely in sunny Perth, would leave Australia needing to win both remaining Tests to take the Ashes.
The big early news is that Michael Beer has been left out of Australia's starting XI, as confirmed by Cricket Australia on Twitter. Yes, Beer is carrying the drinks.
That means an attack full of pace, with Steven Smith the main spinner and Michael Clarke the only backup slow bowler. There'll be plenty of chance for Ricky Ponting to rotate his quicks - Mitchell Johnson, Ben Hilfenhaus, Peter Siddle, Ryan Harris and Shane Watson.
Chris Tremlett looms as the likely addition to England's attack, although that has not yet been confirmed. The WACA pitch looks a bit green, by the way.

Re: Ashes 2010
10am England have won the toss and decided to bowl first. So Strauss has taken a gamble on a greenish pitch.
Australia's best chance to turn the series around - hopefulyl this has echos of Pointing putting the English in when McGrath turned his ankle.

Re: Ashes 2010
Hughes was pretty LOL Good catch by Collingwood. If these two can weather the storm of the openers they should be able to build a partnership.
