According to R5, the Aussies are pleading with the match referee to not go out before lunch on account of the wet outfield.
On account of fear of defeat more like!!

England just past 300, don't think there is any way they can lose this game but with 40+ overs tonight England could still get 150-200 up with a day to put pressure on the Aussies.
Many a team has gone for 100 -150 on the last day, example Australia v SA in Sydnet around 1995, Frannie de Villiers....
Be good to see them post a score of 400, but somehow doubt it 326 - 7 at present.
Johnson bowls a bouncer to Swann...nicely avoided but Johnson comes halfway down the pitch to question Swann's parentage.
They neet halfway and have a friendly chat.
Next ball Swann canes him for 4.
Next ball Johnson throws down the slower ball and gets Swann caught at cover.
Great Stuff.
Worrying for England is that Johnson has bowled well today.
The lead is 80+....8 wickets down....
Broad wagged nicely.
3 or 4 wickets before the end of the day and the Aussies will be crying until daybreak. :)
That would be great to see. Possibly up to 30 more overs in theory, but light is bound to be a decider. Looks like the Aussies have now got to bat for a draw.
Be bad for them to go 2 down with 2 to play.
Its good night from Ponting straight through the gate big wicket
Can't help to watch in awe with that over Swan bowled to Ponting.
Beautiful off spin ball that was unplayable.
Could be curtains for the convicts in the first session tomorrow.
Couple of quick wickets tomorrow and the men from down under will really have their backs to the wall.
Weather forecast reckons sunny intervals with a risk of light showers
^Showers now not forecast until after dusk, so the convicts can remove that excuse from their crib sheet.
BREAKING NEWS: THE Ashes has been hit by a security scare with England police alerted of a potential threat at Edgbaston.
Security has been beefed up around the changerooms of both teams and the situation was developing at lunch on the final day.
"Authorities are keen to secure a particular area of the ground. I understand there has been no suspicious package found,'' an England spokesman said.
Although there was increased security around the dressingrooms of both teams, players from both teams remained in the changerooms at lunch.
During the 2005 Ashes, Australian players were in Leeds during the London bombings.
More to come
Its Ok Mitchel Johnson had left his handbag unatended in the pavillion.
Meandering to a draw, good performance by australia to take the sting out of the game.
Who knows wihout the rain they might have won his one from this position.
Yes another day would be nice due to the one that was washed out. Would have been 1-1 if that was the case.
Well - it has been nice watching the aussies bat well for a change but time to go to bed now.
No it would'ntQuote:

The commentators quotes of the game:
1. Ian Bell is out LBW which was about as plum as the one he got away with yesterday when he was on 17.
2. Rudi Kuetsan (That stupid fooking Yarpie Umpire) doesn't know what's in or out this series and is clearly out of form and should be dropped.
Great knocks by Clarke 100 and North 96 and when under extreme pressure.
Good old aussie fighting spirit. :)
Michael Clarke man of the match.
