he heard a noise, caught it and appealed - he can't tell what it hit in a split second

the umpire thought he hit it too

100 runs with only 2 wickets left.

We've got loads of time but Haddin can bat, Siddle isn't a complete no-hoper and they've only got to chase 95 runs.

New ball was a great shout but I'm definitely nervous.

This will be finished before the lunch break

or tea break

or close

We'll win, no way can the Aussies get 95 with their last 2 wickets.

Steven Finn is getting tonked around the ground. Why he was selected over Bresnan I will never know. Only 20 needed now.

15 off that over. Horrific. Given them a really good chance now.

Little faith?

This is England. Playing Cricket. Against Australia.

I've got live text and it streaming and I'm cacking my pants (do people still say that?)

This isn't ****ing funny anymore.

Swann just smashed for 6. We need lunch more than they do.

30 to win.

Re: The Ashes
 
Great ending though...

And yes, cacking your pants is acceptable at this juncture.
