Good to see at least one other cricket fan on here. Never seen it mentioned before.
I'd more or less given up after the pathetic showing in the last test and what seemed like a poor batting display yesterday, but what a turnaround today!
We're in an extremely good position now but I don't expect the Aussies to make it easy for us, they never give up, but I must admit I am daring to dream.
We don't deserve to win the ashes with our overall performance but I think I can live with it if we do :D
 
Can't beat a day in the sun, pint in hand and the slap of leather on willow. The cricket's not too bad too ;)

Bad dismissals for Bell and Colly, they have to be able to deal with the short stuff if they are going to have any impact, but Strauss did a great job of keeping his cool and playing very safe. Hopefully a decent morning session, few runs and no losses and we can build a decent total, then bowl them out.

That pitch isn't going to get any better, and if we can get 400-450 on the board and give ourselves 2 days to bowl them, life's good :D

You're right, we don't deserve to win, but neither do they, so someone has to. They destroyed us at Cardiff and we got lucky, we hammered them at Lords, played well against them at Edgebaston when the weather took its toll and they absolutely flayed us at Headingley, so if we win this then that makes it 2 good performances each in my book (plus one we could have had), so we'll deserve it then :D

C'mon the Ingerlaaaaaaand

Oh yes! What a great day! Must admit I was starting to think the Aussieswere going to do it until Ponting was run out. We still struggled all through the day but just when I was starting to think we'd blown it we'd get another wicket.

Cracking, and I hope Ponting doesn't get hammered back home, he is one of the best players I have ever seen and you can't knock his stats.

Come on the lads! :D
 
Great days cricket yesterday, but had to pause for F1 and our guy beat the other Aussie Mark Webber. I think overall we just deserved to win the series, although the stats say otherwise.
