We'll let you have another one if you dig up some earth and turf from over the border and plant it in your ground :D

Thing is if we get another one Ddraig and his mates (The Welsh nationalist cricket fundamentalists) will have time to organise, remember Headingley 1975! be prepared for similar actions!!:D

What about one of the Pakistan Australia tests next summer? They've not picked grounds yet (I don't think?).
 
Colly, Jimmy, Monty. The Holy Trinity.

Magnificent stuff.

Will people stop calling for Collingwood's head every second Test now? He can play for England as long as he wants to as far as I'm concerned.
 
Ponting is man of the match - should be Colly imo, although the crowd are being a bit unsporting in booing him.

When Colly went, I thought it was goodnight Vienna. :)

absolutely! Superb defense by Panesar/Anderton pulling rabbits out of the hat, or maybe the rabbits pulled the hat out of the magician, or something :)

Brilliant, brilliant - I was at bit embarrassed to see the 12th man and physio shenanigans, that wasn't very sporting, we didn't need that.

Maybe they should have put a quick on? You could see the idea which was to fit in as many balls as they could.

Anyhow we escaped and it's all square :D

So, we got more runs overall, but it is a draw?

Can someone please explain this...

In order to win a test match you have to get the opposition out twice. Australia didn't do that so they didn't win.

For England to win, they would have to have more runs than the Aussies, but crucially, they would have to get them out twice.
 
Colly proves his worth yet again. Poor dude always seems to have the vultures circling him all the time. He is the only English batsmen to have any bottle. If you had to choose anyone in the world to bat for your life it would be Colly everytime!!!
 
Dull game, wonderful finish. I left work just as Colly went , was convinced we would lose, but that Monty and Anderson..

:D:D

edit: also lol @ Ponting's declaration
 
Colly gets it from those who dont like his straight forward no nonsense style. He is no frills and dosent play extravagant shots. However he has a habit of playing these types of nuggety innings when required.

Those that clamour for him to be dropped are usually those who would like the top order packed with KP types - can you imagine how that would end up should England need to dig themselves out of a hole?:eek:

The rest of the top order need to have quiet word with themselves and sort it out. England have had a huge let off in Cardiff - no doubt. They cannot throw away wickets like that again in this series.

On another note - I think the series has had a major injection of niggle today - KP/Johnson this morning; Siddle hitting Swann and mouthing off; 12th man on the field at the end.......
 
A bit of a set two in the warm ups. Apparantly KP hit a ball into the Aussie group. Johnson went marching over. KP squared up to him. Others were looking to join in when they were pulled apart. Nice

Oh dear.
That's just not cricket, chaps ;)
 
Side for Lords announced in the morning.

One or two changes to come.

Wouldnt mind seeing both Onions and Harmison selected
 
Australia took 19 wickets and England 6.

Tis a worry.

So Harmison is in, Onions should be and I'd dabble with Sidebotttom. Out go Panesar (harsh I know) Broad and someone else

:confused:

On the other hand well done my home city. It was a real buzz here.

We put on some real sporting spectacles.

Sports capital of the world.

:D

Absolutely.

Should prob be a thread of its own, but what other city could boast, in the last 5 years.

Ashes Test Match
ODI Cricket
County Cricket
Speedway Grand Prix
World Rally Championship
World Championship Boxing
FA Cup final
Worthy Cup final
FA play-offs
International Football
International Rugby Union
Superleague rugby
World Pool Championship
Fizzy pop football
Elite League Ice Hockey

and probably loads more that I can't think of right now. I'll tell you the answer is none,no other city in UK ,probably the world,can boast such an array.
