Dodgy pitches aside, when it came to the crunch our inexperience cost us dear

Australia will look at the bare statistics of this Test series and wonder how they lost the Ashes. We had the three leading wicket-takers, and six of the seven leading run-scorers over the five Tests were Aussies.

Final flourish asking a lot from Andrew Flintoff

The knowledge that this is Andrew Flintoff's final Test match will undoubtedly give all his team-mates a lift, but I have a feeling it could place a lot more pressure on Freddie.

Umpires have been caught out because they've lacked hi-tech help

With the Ashes coming down to the final Test, it is no surprise to hear so many people in England talking about who should be picked and who should be dropped for The Brit Oval.

Jonathan Trott is not the man to fill Flintoff's shoes at Headingley

If Andrew Flintoff is not fit for the Fourth Test, it would be a huge mistake for England to go with six specialist batsmen and just four front-line bowlers.

Steve Rouse prepares the Edgbaston pitch

Glenn McGrath: Don't allow this party to fall flat

As desperate as England are to win back the Ashes, I really do hope that the groundsmen don't prepare flat, boring wickets for the remaining three Tests to ensure three drawn games.

Forget Kevin Pietersen, it's Andrew Flintoff you’d really miss

Kevin Pietersen has been a vital player for England throughout his Test career, but I don't believe his absence will damage the team that much, as he has not really made an impact in the series so far.

Glenn McGrath: Andrew Strauss has still got it all to prove

As relieved and delighted as England will be to have escaped from the First Test with a draw, everything now depends on what they do on day one of the Second Test at Lord's.
