64-5? It's still doable. Just a shame it's always the opening batsmen who seem to let the side down.

The sooner that &^%*(*&"$£$ McGrath retires the better!!
Still, the old England would have been 40 all out, Peterson and Jones steadied the ship a little bit. If the tail can hang around with Peterson for an hour tomorrow morning he should be able to get us around the Aussie score.
And did you see what Peterson said to Jones as he came into bat?
"For f***s sake, get on the front foot!"
Good advice seeing as England had lost 5 batsmen trapped on the back foot...
Still, a great bowling performance by England, really roughed em up - Langer, Hayden, Ponting and McGrath all took nasty body blows (elbow, head, cheek, chin respectively). Shame McGrath spoiled my great day of cricket watching
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

Bastard had to spoil our brilliant start didn't he.
Why thank you, I am still very chuffed, was over the moon for a fair few days after our win in the playoff final. I just hope we put up a respectful amount of points.Ahh JAG! I ment to congratulate you on the Hammers return to the premiership!
More London teams the better if you ask me!
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: The Ashes Series Begins
Even pseudo-bodyline tactics and England is still getting hammered... bother, another boring season of cricket.
Look, just start text messaging the Aussie batsmen that Shane is text messaging their wives...

Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
