Congrats England, you deserved that win.
Too many pedestrian Aussie players this test.

Only just Dave!

Anyway - an important win for England against Australia as it has removed an embarrassing statistic: Australia had won more Test Matches against England IN ENGLAND!!

Since 1877 in England, it's now 53 wins each.

Of course playing in Australia, the Poms are hopeless - it's 99 wins to 54.

Buy that stat they aren't just playing cricket and who could blame them...I would think their families, cousins, and Aunties would also come out...

Winning 3 in a row is always hard.
NSW playing to keep Freddie in a job.
Was the game televised in the UK?

So, anyone at the cricket?

 

[bigleonski]

Mmmmmmm. I wonder if 317 is enough?

 

[Tazzieman]

Mmmmmmm. I wonder if 317 is enough?

Yes , no worries
Just bowl at the stumps, preferably yorker after yorker.

Par looks to be 375 but you never really know until both sides have batted

I miss McGrath.
Good old line and length.

Finally Crawley gets it on!

Fingers crossed for an Oval decider!!! Early days.....

 

[ECrider]

Bit quiet on this thread!

Seems the Manchester bleed will 'do us'!

What we need is a Sydney cloud burst and play on!!!!

 

[Tazzieman]

A win is a theoretical possibility. Where there is life there is hope. It will only take 1 dozen bad oysters to knobble England!

 

[bigleonski]

Praying for three days of rain. An extra just in case.

Pretty clear who wanted to win this one.
