Oh. Splendid show, I say, what!

cricket is one of the sports I can actually truthfully say I enjoy watching, watching England win back the ashes from those uncouth colonials is even better.

We havn't won yet but where 2-1 up! Hell, I'm Still recovering from the tension of the final few runs. They very nearly scuppered us. Warne was incredable should have been MOM.

*Pokes n00b with a stick* :p
don't damage it! I can use it to decorate my dungeon!


And YAY! we won! I really wanted to watch but I had to work :(

Meh. We'll get you back by beating you at your own olympics. MWAHAHAHA!

England put it up some countries' Ass's... er Ashes?

.............................................. ur mom! (american speaking) ($_$)

Can anyone tell me why Flintoff is called Freddy? :confused:

And god that match was getting close in the end. Not good for the ole blood pressure.

oho from Fred Flinstone

Woohooo what a great day though if i was there i think i might gone through a packet and half during the last few overs

Can anyone tell me why Flintoff is called Freddy? :confused:



I think Freddie's his middle name.

I think Freddies his middle name and it rymes and sounds good.

Because Flintoff is meant to sound like Flinstone, as in Fred Flinstone.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well dont for it, but I bet we had you sweating in the last few overs.

Yeah!
Dances!
i watched the last 2 hours!
Seeing as i needed to sleep and go to work!

This is where having read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy comes in handy, as I actually have some idea what the hell you guys are talking about. :D

Um...go England? :p

I'd simply like to say that Hoggard and Giles saved the day. What a truly textbook cover drive from Hoggard; great cricket!

Any opinions on Ponting's and Katich's fines? Do you think Ponting (and Oz) have a point about England's use of sub fielders, or is it just a bit of whinging from a losing side unused to losing?

I'm dead curious.

And oh yes, Glamorgan have broken their championship duck. Yay!

Congrats, guys. But when the hell did England manage to get so good? Granted, our (the Australian) team is getting on a bit now, but damn, the English have gotten bloody good since the last series.

Still, there's one more test to play and you guys have to win outright, not just draw the series to take the Ashes. I just hope our guys pull their fingers out of their asses and start playing some decent cricket.

The english haven't got that much better, but the australians have got a lot worse.

Really, this has been on of the most exciting and intense series that I've ever seen. I'm not from either country and I was up until 5.30am watching.

The quality of cricket has been sorely lacking. How many centuries have their been? How many batsmen have been throwing their wicket away in stupid ways? How many no-balls have been bowled? How the hell did England nearly lose that last match? The umpiring has been shocking, especially Katich's lbw yesterday. Ponting got run out taking a stupid run and then tried to blame fielding subs.

Sure it's been exciting, but both teams seem to look like they're fighting to lose sometimes.

I don't know. The poms have been doing pretty well against everyone lately. Though admittedly, that last match wasn't a good example of either side's best.

But you're right, the Aussie team is a lot crappier than they have been. Hayden, frankly, needs to go. He's well past his best now. An average of what.. around 23? just isn't good enough for a first class, top order batsman. He's played some truly awesome cricket in the past, but he just doesn't seem to be capable of it anymore.

Surprisingly, Warne and Lee have been pretty good with the bat in this series. But you know there's something wrong when the tail-enders seem to be carrying the side in run making department.

Oz needs to win the last game to square the series and thus retain the Ashes. As long as England draws with Oz at the Oval, the series will remain 2-1 and England brings back the Ashes. Mind you, it'd be nice of England wins it. Then it's 3-1 and no question.

Do you think Ponting (and Oz) have a point about England's use of sub fielders, or is it just a bit of whinging from a losing side unused to losing?

he's just being a sore loser.

English circket will be back where it should be, on top of the world.

Brilliant!!!!!!! :p

Rule Britannia!

hay Dim, where you been?

When one of your bowlers is your top scorer you need to worry. Lee is the only one who scored in the first innings. You Australians need to improve,

But yes GO ENGLAND. WE GONNA WIN THE ASHES IF I HAVE TO LOCK ALL THE AUSSIES IN A SMALL ROOM AND TIE THEM UP FOR FIVE DAYS.

Cracking result for us. Freddie has been fantastic throughout the series.

For all our American Cousins...

Cricket = Baseball on Valium. (ish)

LOL.

That's just slanderous. Baseball is a game played with bat and ball primarily in America, Australia and Japan.

Cricket is God's Own Game, and proof that He exists and love us.

Or, well, summat like that ...

I prefer to watch Cricket than Men's Rounders.

Mind you, when I went to school (not all that long ago, actually) Men's Rounders would have been an oxymoron. Only girls played that ...
