Along with Anderson Broad has been our best bowler over the last 18 months or so he just couldnt seem to buy a wicket though,as ever though my big fear is we'll burn him out he needs to be looked after.

Trott did good..all those gimps calling for ramps the dancer to come back should hang thier heads in shame,i hope that lad can push on from here and make a career for himself.

We should win easily enough now its just to bigger a ask for the aussies,but for me the question will have to be asked..did the aussies play anywhere near what they're capable of in this series? the answer is no they have for the most part been piss poor all summer long,England arent a great side and winning this series wont change that fact,we've punched above our weight and hopefully beaten a very badly prepared Aussie side.

We have to look ahead now,drop the dead wood such as hapless harmy,collingwood looks stale and maybe look for someone else other than Cook,if only as back up for him,people need to be brought in over the winter fresh blood and try and revitlise the team.

Probably the worst Australia side to have come over for many a year. We have been lucky enough to catch them in a period of transition, but so are England, two poorish sides at the minute. I hope Trott can kick on and establish himself, couple of batsmen needed and very little coming trough so probably selectors will persevere with Cook & Bell. Harmison is probably playing his last series, and I agree Colly is looking tired.

But for now, it looks like an Ashes winning team!!! (y)

L.C.A.B's Sunday Message ; This is not over !!!
Punta and Pup could win this from here . I doubt it but it's defo possible . If only Mr. Cricket could lay bat on ball !!!
Plus , thanks for not playing Binga .

Gargles , clears throat , ...
" And did those feet , in ancient times , walk upon England's mountains green ???
Or was the Holy Lamb of God , on England's pleasant pastures seen ???
And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills , and was Jerusalem , builded here , amongst those dark Satanic mills ???
Bring me my bow of burning gold . Bring me my arrows of desire , bring me my shield , oh cloud's unfold . Bring me my chariot of fire .
I will not cease from vengence mine . Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand , 'till we have built Jerusalem , in England's green and pleasant land !!!

Made me cry , Sept 12 , 2005 , Kennington Oval , 10.45 am , and 3.55 pm .Hope it does again , later today .

Come on you Poms !!!
Please God , it does again today .
Totally , proper gutted I'm not there .

Good to see your Pretorian scouts have been working overtime.

Lucky the South Africans have got a lot of depth or they'd be in trouble.
