Each time I post in this thread, England so something stupid - like drop a catch or whatever.
I had to leave just then to give my sister a lift and heard the last wicket fall on Five-Live. That prolly wouldn't have happened if I was in here talking to Adster and JP :01:

The title of this thread is completely apt (if it was spelled correctly :lol: ) -- what a fantastic 3 and a bit days of cricket. Maybe the most exciting test I've ever seen, certainly involving England.
Unlucky Australia, you made England work so hard for the win. It was a pleasure to watch.

Why, was she depressed. :cry:
I can see how you absenting yourself would give her the lift she needed. :naughty:
Pity you missed the end of t'test tho' it was ace, cool, hip and funky.

She was in a rather tricky situation involving sweets and a high shelf. I just had to assist.
I'm not worried about missing the final wicket - if I was watching, we would have lost, I expect.
It's all about me :happy:
Re: What a Thriling game Cricket
A really outstanding Test.
A real movie moment for Jones the Glove. You can just imagine the close up in slo mo as he leaps to make the catch that will either win or lose the game.
Doesn't get much closer than that. Will McGrath be back for the next one?

So your sister was depressed, due to her storage having taken drugs, causing you to leave the room, missing the end of the best test match for an age, to cheer her up.
What a complex life you lead.

I really, really hope not.
I think he is the difference between the teams. We wouldn't have won if he'd been playing in this test. Without a doubt.
Normally I try to be magnanimous about injured opposition players, because it's rather churlish not to be, but on this occasion I'm justifying it to myself by thinking that the games will be much more competitive if he's not in their team.

Actually no.
However, My Nan wanted to live a complex life but we told her that altho' a lot of her friends would be there - sometimes the orderlies are a bit harsh.
Re: What a Thriling game Cricket
Mcgrath will not be playing in the 3rd test and is in doubt for the next 2
but people who say cricket is boring watch that last 2 hrs today it was great chewing nails heart thumping I actully walked out to the lounge room to say to my dad 3 runs to get where got it one I walked back in my room and seen that great ball and catch and that was that
I said you wouldn't beleive it england just won by 2 runs!
that 10th wicket partnership by flintoff and jones turned it around .... well the game had so many turnarounds!!
btw Stuart McGill im pretty sure will come in for Kasper for the next test 2 spinners for old traford england will be in deep trouble in that game!
also why sint james anderson in the england team?? he was awsome against australia in teh ODIs hes better then hoggard IMO
