I have been waiting a long time to write this piece. I have waited long enough. I have waited since Ramprakash thought he had last chance to glory to Lee being left out to maintain the winning combination.
Well after the 1st days play of the last test of this Ashes series all I can say is England did well to stick with the team and not panic and get in some one like Mark Ramprakash..poor Mark...
Australia also did well by sticking to their winning combo.
After the 1st session I thought England did well but to end day at 307/8 was bad. Australia needs to be happy after today's play.I don't know why but I am getting an inkling that 300+ will be a tough total for the Aussies to over haul. My instincts say England might just edge out Australia in this match and win the Ashes. I have a feel that Australia might get over confident and spoil their own party. I am praying for a Freddie Show- A swan song that will become Ashes and cricketing folklore.
Nothing doing..but wait and watch..!!! Lets have some fantastic Test cricket.
Ha lastly some pun on the England line up...
A. Cook- spoilt his dish
A. Strauss- The straw could have been longer if he could have gotten a hundred
I.Bell- The Bell did ring for some time but alas not long enough
P. Wood- Lost in the Woods..
I. Trott- Trotted along well until Hussey had him
M.Prior- Has got his Priorities all mixed up
