At time of writing England were 209-7 on the final day of the final test!

Can we last it out until the end of the day or will we have the little wooden urn snatched from us at the last minute?

Come on England!

Well, it's 221-7 at tea (i think). This is looking good, especially if we can last 1hr+ after tea!

Go England!!!!

We need to go to atleast 5:30 PM. The aussies can score 200 in two or more hours. Dun Nu Dun Nu

You must remember that yesterday we took 8 of their wickets for only 80 runs.

Also, another hour could mean about 280 score, which is hard, even for Australia, to get in two hours on the last day (that's about 30 overs, which means they'll have to play awfully quickly - good for us).

The odds are definitatly in our favor:

We won! We won! We won!

Now, time for some emoticons:

:EmoticonGoodGame: :new_smilie_colors1: :mfr_omg: :partytime2: :rockon:

I'd add some more, but none fit the bill!

I'd known we'd won about half an hour to an hour before Peitersen got out. Not even Australia can manage 10 an over.

Bit of a farce at the end with the Aussies having come out to bat with no chance of winning.

Peitersen's 158 put the doubt in the team selection of England to rest. Even though Thorpe would have caught those catches (6 in total) it's good to see that the selectors were looking to the future of the game.

Talking of Thorpe, we have seen the end of many great cricketers this series. Thorpe announced his retirement during the Lords test match. Then the last test match saw the end of Richie Bernaud's great commentary on Channel 4, which is supposidly because Cricket has retired to Sky. And last, but by no means least, with have seen the end of two of the greatest bowlers of all time bowling internationally in England, Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne. They may see the next Ashes series, but it is doubtful they will still be in the team in 3 years when the series is heald in England once more.

Some of the best cricket ever this summer!

Hey, you copied that from my post, atleast use the Qoute tag next time!

I think it should be the world 11 Vs ENGLAND! Rock ON!

Considering the world 11 consists of about 3 or 4 England players, that would be quite hard (though the Australians have some good players! :lol:)!

You like cricket?

Yeah, it's an interesting sport. More interesting than football, at any rate.

..... ohh umm ok

Hmm, why the s?

cz i love football

I find it kinda boring. And annoying cos they get paid so much to kick a ball around. Don't mind a kick about with friends, though.

ok i see the point in that hmm i never really understood cricket i learnt it at one point cz my grandad loved it but afterwards i kinda avnt played it at all since

There are a lot of rules, but it's quite simple really. No silly rules *cough*offside*cough*.

hmmm, football is easy to follow to me hehe and im good at it too

LOL, still boring to watch.
