[jazz]

Flintoff hits the 1st ball he faces for a 4,England can really accelerate here

 

[The Champ]

excellent comeback by aussies

 

[m_vaughan]

I think it would have been better to have sent Pieterson and Flintoff ahead of Strauss and Vaughan.

[m_vaughan]

Yes England needs to attack each of the six balls!!

 

[MWaugh]

i agree with vaughn. flintoff and pieterson should have been sent in earlier. go the aussies though.

 

[Johann]

Looks like this will be tough for England. Should be very interesting.
