It was just a moment...............I REALLY enjoyed THAT moment. :clap: :clap:

Maybe the only MOMENT that I get this summer. :whistle:

God it WAS good. :drool:

[David Franklin]

Hope you enjoyed it quickly *cough*7-92*cough* :wink:You have to realise that we're inured to England batting collapses these days. Whereas we'd have been pretty happy keeping each individual Aussie batsman below 200, let alone the team total.

Yes, we have pretty low expectations these days... :tears:

[Rhythm King]

Oh well, it's only a game, eh? :sad:

But that was just a bit too close for a Sunday morning. Here's me thinking I was settling down to a relaxing 10 to 15 mins Cricket, nearly 2 hours later my toast is untouched, my teas gone cold and Austrailia are only needing 2 runs to win :eek:
Looking forward to Old Trafford now (i think :rolleyes: )

That might be the case.

I think England has some light at the end of the tunnel. :yeah:

I fear that Australia's light is slowly , ever so slowly going out. :whistle:


Do you remember those all conquering West Indies, fantastic line up of bowlers then after many years of the same line up and no new blood coming through POP !!! the bubble burst.

Well look at Australia, how old are the two top (world class) bowlers Warne and Mcgrath?

Who is in the wings to replace these two!

yes they have got Lee but I don't see much else really to worry the lads! :wink:

I tried soooo hard not to reply to this!!

We lost the second test by only 2 runs ... England got lucky and caught the last wicket. Australia's light going out??? England win by 2 runs and you think that our light is going out??? There are still another 3 tests to go dont go countin' those chooks!

You failed miserably.

Actually, they might not have him for the Third Test

What? you mean the ICC Trophy 2005 Winners (http://newicc.cricket.org/perl/icc-scorecard.cgi?ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT2005/SCORECARDS/FINAL/IRELAND_SCOT_ICCT-FINAL_13JUL2005) :rofl: :rofl: ?
OK so Scotland don't so much play, rather more just sort of turn up now and again, but I believe we have only been beaten 6 times by the West Indies. :whistle:
