Pack their bags and head back home to England now and avoid a 5 - 0 white wash.

England have the ability, they have already proved that. But they need more self-confidence in themselves..maybe because the Aussie side are older and wiser they seem to be able to psych out England...and a lot of cricket is psychological.
Rememeber, the Aussies did not so much win the second test as England lost it. But they showed a huge improvement from the gutless first test in Brisbane..they just have to keep it going ALL match.

England are hopelessly placed in the Ashes series now. They cannot even dream of winning the Ashes series from this point. They can only try and win one or two matches to redeem some of the lost prestige, which also will be a herculian task for them.

The ashes aren't over yet...this is why:
Firstly Flintoff must be strong and lead by example. He needs a week to help recover from his 'minor' injury
He needs to install maximum confidence back to the players.
Australia did not WIN the test - England lost it
England are not used to lossing so they will be angry and more aggressive in Perth
Jones can't bat and must be dropped for a better keeper
Giles can't catch or spin or run and must be dropped for Monty
Mahmood can come in for Anderson
The aussies are hungry for the ashes but they are creaking and it showed in the 1st 3 days
Harmison needs to work harder on his bowling, he can create problems at Perth.
England must only look ahead to Perth and not think of anything else. If they win here (its possible) they are back in it.

Ask the Aussies to go on holiday, there is no hope for England, if it does not rain it will be a white wash.

I'd try prayer failing that try and persuade Waugh to wear a blindfold when he's bowling ---and maybe when he's batting as well----O! and haven't you got an Irishman hidden somewhere? now if your looking for backbone and ability someone who will take on Waugh without surrendering need you look any further.

I don't think England can make unless the opening bowling attack rips off Australians

I think you English folk have got it wrong, look at what your team almost did to us Aussies, the team lacks confidence in their own ability, Warne just has a psychological noose around their necks.

Kill Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne
Then they have a chance to win

Ask the Australians for lessons?
