Are you absolutely certain? In my opinion they would have been skittled out for 185 if the bad light had not saved them.

Let's compare notes after the next two Tests...........

Kix

Well we've retained the ashes. Well done England,

The Dean

Not good enough - we could have lost the First Test and this one. I want at least one more Test win in this series.

Kix

We'll get it, Australia are pants.

Dumbo

I'm with you on this, there isn't much to get over confident about, without Bell in the first test things could look alot different now.

The games in Aus in the Winter will be a struggle.

Kix

Pessimism, it's what makes us English.

You can also say without their debutants 08 we'd have hammered them etc. etc. The fact is you will sleays get good players playing some brilliant and some woeful innings. As a complete team we are head and shoulders above Australia, I just hope we don't get too cocky.

Cottonopolis developed precisely because it rains all the damn time.

Like it, and as he's a Sikh alcohol is not banned in his religion.

76/4 now the Aussies. Maybe 238 was a good score at my local (and the most picturesque) ground.

Now 129/4. They need to break this partnership, sooner rather than later.

Kix

Indeed they do, Cook needs to gamble with some spin I reckon.
