    Thousands upon thousands of Englishmen paying £60 a head and praying to see no more play and for it to bucket down with rain....quickly

    You could say the same for England though too to a certain extent. The England attack has been excellent...

    Collingwood gone - might as well have picked Anderson for the sum total of 17 runs...

    186-6 btw

    Well in fairness, this is the first bit of good play out of him in a long long long time.

    221-7 at tea - lead of 227

    Pietersen just got his century.

    Going to be close, but the most important thing it'll still be on when I get home...

    Probably, but if they finish off sharpish then it'll be around 230ish in 40 overs. Doable....

    258-7 now, 264 ahead. Pietersen on 131, never one to tempt fate but it is looking good for England now and to be honest they deserve the victory.

    Well done England, thoroughly deserved for the work done over the last 2 seasons. The foresight to stick with this bunch of lads is coming to fruition now in spades for them.


    258/7 even if Oz get a hat trick, they need about 8 an over which is impossible with the Eng attack in such good form.
    The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.

    Looking like England have it won and deservedly so.I didn't think they would do it but they have and it now shows how far they have come in recent years.

    I really enjoyed the series but this open top bus ride for just beating one country a third of its size in population is a bit over the top. If Warne had held the catch, it might have been sack cloth and (no) ashes.
