mine would have to be win this test, and then in the final test return the favour for the last time we were in the UK.
The slightest bit of darkness walk off the field. Time waste at every opportunity, everyone knows about those "niggling" injuries a player recieved 15 years ago.
Make the poms have a massive sook, and come back home with the ashes in hand. the ideal ending :) f*** the poms! (says a pom myself :P )

Take 1-1 and play for a draw at the Oval, most tests are drawn at the Oval..heck even Bopara will probably get 10 there!

Why would that be the ideal ending? The ideal ending would see us smash the Poms with Pieterson and Flintoff back in their team.

And lose the number one ranking
No thanks
Simple- Punter holding the replica of the little urn on the field at the Oval- then retiring to the changing rooms and have the boys do the song.....

Australia make ~600, Ponting makes a double century, Hilfy takes 10 for the match, England collapse twice, Johnson and Siddle break some part of Strauss and Bopara's body, Geeves a shock call up.
Any 2 of the above will do me, with an Australia win mandatory
The team batting last chasing 70 with 2 wickets in hand entering the last session of the 5th day, rain and light not being an issue. Preferably without any shocking umpire decisions for the match.

Make 800 odd in the first innings and smash these scumbags. Hopefully they collapse and we win rather than batting out for a draw. Just need to retain the ashes and i'll be happy.

would be nice to bat first and make 550 on the first 2 days, and completely deny england any chance of winning the ashes. Just would be so much fun watching the poms play out the last 3 days with no chance of a win. Their body language would be poor, the barmy army would be quiet, and the aussies could get in their ear.
Make em suffer.
Win it on the last day needing 30 runs from the last 8 overs 9 wickets down.

I'd like to see a result as being the only possibility right up to the last hour of the last session of the last day. And, of course, Australia triumph in the end. But i wouldn't mind a nail biter.

As nice as that would be after the event, it'd be excruciating while it happens!
Win, basically. Don't really care how, just win.

Self hatred ay?
