Ponting misses days as player on witnessing Smith-Archer duel

The third Ashes Test will take place at Adelaide Oval from December 17 onwards. England is heading into the third Test, a do-or-die match, with two massive scars on them psychologically, with one being a Travis Head storm at Perth during the first Test at Perth which helped Aussies chase down 205 runs and end the Test in just two days. The other one was a lot more of their own making as dropped catches and a largely poor display with the bat in the second innings meant Aussies were set only 69 runs to chase, which they did easily.
