I’ll raise my eeek to an aarrghh!!!
So England need 129 runs to win and have 41 overs and a whole day to do it in . . .
Just a flesh wound. We’ve still got our teeth! We’ll bite you to death!
Gulp.

Cheryl Says:
oh ye of little faith. trust in god (warnie that is)
August 28th, 2005 at 12:02 PM
2. Justine Says:
Whatcha mean little faith? I said we’d bite you to death! But c’mon, even I think it’s a longshot.
August 28th, 2005 at 12:11 PM
Cheryl Says:
whereas i never underestimate the ability of the england team to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
August 28th, 2005 at 12:19 PM
4. Justine Says:
Whatever happens it’s dead entertaining. I remain hopeful: expecting the best, but very prepared for the worst.
But, honestly, Cheryl, your boys are batting pretty good right now. Relax!
August 28th, 2005 at 12:27 PM
5. Justine Says:
Course I’d be a lot more hopeful if Warne could bowl from both ends . . .
August 28th, 2005 at 12:27 PM
Cheryl Says:
freddie and pietersen seem to be doing a good job. but as rod marsh is just saying, what you guys are missing right now is mcgrath. he could have held up the other end.
August 28th, 2005 at 12:36 PM
7. Justine Says:
Bye bye pietersen! At least we’re going down fighting!
Oh yes, McGrath woulda made a difference . . .
August 28th, 2005 at 12:44 PM
Cheryl Says:
oh good, jones the gloves gets a chance to hit the winning runs. that will so annoy the english.
August 28th, 2005 at 12:50 PM
9. Justine Says:
I don’t believe it! Lee got Flintoff! This is just amazing!
August 28th, 2005 at 12:59 PM
10. Justine Says:
But your Jonesy still gets a shot at those winning runs.
August 28th, 2005 at 1:00 PM
Cheryl Says:
don’t forget that simon jones is injured, so 9 wickets might do it
August 28th, 2005 at 1:01 PM
12. Justine Says:
Would help if there weren’t so many no balls . . .
August 28th, 2005 at 1:02 PM
Cheryl Says:
good job you don’t get a free hit in test cricket
August 28th, 2005 at 1:03 PM
Cheryl Says:
oh no, all this excitment and they put blowers on the commentary!
August 28th, 2005 at 1:03 PM
15. Justine Says:
I reckon!
August 28th, 2005 at 1:04 PM
16. Justine Says:
My feelings exactly. Bloody Henry Blofeld! Do not talk about the bloody buggery pigeons!
August 28th, 2005 at 1:04 PM
Cheryl Says:
nope, let’s talk about wickets falling like ninepins
August 28th, 2005 at 1:09 PM
18. Justine Says:
Hoggard’s from Yorkshire. He’ll just bat like Boycott . . .
Once again I have no fingernails. How bout you?
August 28th, 2005 at 1:11 PM
Cheryl Says:
fingernails? what about knuckles?
August 28th, 2005 at 1:12 PM
20. Justine Says:
It’s not pretty . . .
I love test cricket!
I am not so thrilled about some of the lbw decisions, however . . . especially for Warne.
August 28th, 2005 at 1:14 PM
Cheryl Says:
dunno, haven’t been able to see them on tv.
where’s jonathan? He’s missing the action.
August 28th, 2005 at 1:16 PM
22. Justine Says:
It’s the wee early hours back home . . . though, hang on, he’s in Perth so it’s not that early.
August 28th, 2005 at 1:18 PM
Cheryl Says:
what was that you were saying about Hoggie’s boring batting?
not that i am at all fond of most yorkshiremen, but ian botham was born in yorkshire.
August 28th, 2005 at 1:25 PM
24. Justine Says:
this test series has been the battle of the tailenders! Amazing.
August 28th, 2005 at 1:27 PM
Cheryl Says:
thank goodness we are not playing American League rules
August 28th, 2005 at 1:28 PM
26. Justine Says:
Congratulations!
August 28th, 2005 at 1:30 PM
Cheryl Says:
phew!
collapses in quivering heap…
August 28th, 2005 at 1:31 PM
28. Justine Says:
We just have to win the next one. No worries!
August 28th, 2005 at 1:31 PM
Cheryl Says:
yep, the oval is a nice fast pitch. it should suit lee and tait much better.
August 28th, 2005 at 1:38 PM
jonathan Says:
went to bed while warnie and lee were batting. needed to be up at 5am for work. sounds like you kids had fun. no more eeyore comments from me. well played england!
