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.

    oh ye of little faith. trust in god (warnie that is)

  2. 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.

  3. Cheryl Says:

    whereas i never underestimate the ability of the england team to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

  4. 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!

  5. 5. Justine Says:

    Course I’d be a lot more hopeful if Warne could bowl from both ends . . .

  6. 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.

  7. 7. Justine Says:

    Bye bye pietersen! At least we’re going down fighting!

    Oh yes, McGrath woulda made a difference . . .

  8. Cheryl Says:

    oh good, jones the gloves gets a chance to hit the winning runs. that will so annoy the english.

  9. 9. Justine Says:

    I don’t believe it! Lee got Flintoff! This is just amazing!

  10. 10. Justine Says:

    But your Jonesy still gets a shot at those winning runs.

  11. Cheryl Says:

    don’t forget that simon jones is injured, so 9 wickets might do it

  12. 12. Justine Says:

    Would help if there weren’t so many no balls . . .

  13. Cheryl Says:

    good job you don’t get a free hit in test cricket

  14. Cheryl Says:

    oh no, all this excitment and they put blowers on the commentary!

  15. 16. Justine Says:

    My feelings exactly. Bloody Henry Blofeld! Do not talk about the bloody buggery pigeons!

  16. Cheryl Says:

    nope, let’s talk about wickets falling like ninepins

  17. 18. Justine Says:

    Hoggard’s from Yorkshire. He’ll just bat like Boycott . . .

    Once again I have no fingernails. How bout you?

  18. Cheryl Says:

    fingernails? what about knuckles?

  19. 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.

  20. Cheryl Says:

    dunno, haven’t been able to see them on tv.

    where’s jonathan? He’s missing the action.

  21. 22. Justine Says:

    It’s the wee early hours back home . . . though, hang on, he’s in Perth so it’s not that early.

  22. 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.

  23. 24. Justine Says:

    this test series has been the battle of the tailenders! Amazing.

  24. Cheryl Says:

    thank goodness we are not playing American League rules

  25. 26. Justine Says:

    Congratulations!

  26. Cheryl Says:

    phew!

    collapses in quivering heap…

  27. 28. Justine Says:

    We just have to win the next one. No worries!

  28. Cheryl Says:

    yep, the oval is a nice fast pitch. it should suit lee and tait much better.

  29. 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!

  30. woofy Says:

    inger-land – inger-land – inger-land – inger-land- inger-land!!!
