Hitesh Posted 5 August 2005 Share Posted 5 August 2005 the weather could bugger us, but i think another innings like our first and we will be well on course 150707[/snapback] Definitly. Plus we have the advantage of batting third and i reckon there is more life in the wicket so England are in the driving seat. Just have to make sure we dont throw it away!

toonboy Posted 5 August 2005 Share Posted 5 August 2005 Need to be looking to get atleast what Australia scored which would leave them chasing something around what England got in the 1st innings. That wouldn't be too far off a world record chase on a pitch that's getting gradually worse. (hope that makes sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonboy Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 aussies need just 282 to win already 0-40 151201[/snapback] You sounded a little pesimistic. Never doubted Flintoff and the legend that is Ashley Giles did you? If it's not 1-1 now i'll eat a shop full of hats (fingers crossed now) Come on England!

toonboy Posted 7 August 2005 Share Posted 7 August 2005 bet you were worried weren't you? 151603[/snapback] I was starting to look forward to that meal. I thought they were going to bottle it but it was a great finish. Best match i've ever seen, not just for the ending but the 3 days before aswell. Win the next one with McGrath out and we'll be cruising. England for the Ashes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultra Posted 7 August 2005 Share Posted 7 August 2005 Better hope he's fit for the next test. It's all up for grabs now. All it takes is one batsman on either side to make a big score, and the balance of power will shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_lcfc Posted 7 August 2005 Author Share Posted 7 August 2005 jesus how tense was that kaspa was plum LBW before but on sky sports news there were suggestions the ball hit the glove after it came off the bat so technically it should not be out. What goes around comes around hey and im not complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Doyle Posted 8 August 2005 Share Posted 8 August 2005 Well done England.... I am eating my HUMBLE PIE as we speak . What a great game. Lets hope that they can carry this form into the next test but improve on their second innings bating performance . Can not fault their endeavour or their passion and at one stage I thought the Aussies were going to rub their face in it . B l o d d y close thing though. Come on lets make it 2 -1 at old trafford MadMick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
