something's burning...oh its the Ashes...

Anyone?

As long as Harmison's not bowling the first ball....

Looking forward to it getting going tonight.

[size=150]Come on England![/size]

Cant wait. Our best chance for ages, we certainly have the stronger team, BUT theres something about beating Australia in Australia. For me, a drawn series with England retaining the urn. That would do nicely.

But if someones gonna win it, lets go 2-1 england.

siddle' hat trick was unbelievable.

guess its down to swann and bell now to get some big points on the board

second session of the second day,

england are bowling pretty well. anderson has been the main threat so far.

aussies are 115-3

Things have just got very interesting !

41 overs left, england have declared at 517

aussies need 297 to win.

hold onto your hats

Never a chance of winning the match, but the way we played in the last 2 days, thats as close to a win as you can get mentally.

The aussies were battered into the dirt and England willspend the next few days on a high, whilst the Aussies will face harsh criticism, before the next test.
