1st Test: England v Australia

[jordox]

England will get the draw here.

So what we are trying to say is reverse batting line up for the next test?

I'm loving this match. Imagine England getting the draw here, what a confidence boost that would be. What a boost to the series.

It would be more beneficial for us to get beat so we'd get the kick up the arse. It'll be hailed as a magnificent display if these somehow hold on.

North.

Seriously. North? Meh, more overs, I guess.

Maybe Strauss opening the bowling could pay dividends too.

North. Hmm ok. Thats umm. Not Katich. But yeh whatever.

9 minutes to survive, take ya time boys.

Hauritz to Panesar, no run, flighted on the off stump. Monty defends. Good ball though. Thousands and thousands cheer him as though he's won the game for England

I so wish I was back home, right now, watching this live on the big screen television...


If the rest of the series is this tense and brilliant, it's gonna be an awesome summer.

 

[jordox]

Should bring Clarke on. Sydney test.

Draw looks certain for me.

I sent a text to my mate at the start of the day saying we'd make it to the last over of the innings and then we'd lose all of our remaining wickets. I'M SICK OF ALWAYS BEING RIGHT!!!!

 

[Magz]

This is epic.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Monty hits a four . Carn England!

It would be pretty pathetic for England to think that this performance and stealing the draw is a sign that everything is allright. If anything it merely shows that Anderson, Swann and Flower have more testicular fortitude than the rest of the side combined and twice over.


Add Monty to that list!

Even if that happens we'll draw. Lets hope you're right
