Well it's just started raining in Manchester so there is a slim chance we may get a draw.

Amen
God doesn't take sides.
Meanwhile, it didn't take long for the McGrath/Warne combination to wrap it up. Your South African import showed the Poms how to do it with 64 no. England lose by 239 runs on the 4th day in only about 60 minutes of play due to rain. The last six wickets to fall only contributed 9 runs with the bat. Pretty pathetic really, but that's kind of normal for England vs Aus.

i'm sure England will come back strongly in the next test

EDIT: not strongly enough, but better than this...

What a horrible display by England.
Okay, Aus are the best, but England have been good over the last 18 months. NZ and WI may not be all that great, but beating SA at home is no mean feat.
Unfortunately, they looked like clowns in the field and Warne made them look like schoolboys.
I can't believe people were doubting Pietersen. He's the only one who didn't bat like a tail-ender!!!
😠

Well done Aussies.
I thought before the series that Warne and McGrath may be past their best ... apparently not!

Yes, they just seem to get better with age and maturity. A bit like a good cheese. 😀

Warne did seem to be bowling well, but Pietersen never looked threatened by him at all.
Warne's bouncer to KP was quite funny, though.

Don't encourage Dylan like that. He's going to be posting fat love throughout the whole Ashes if you say things like that.

Too bad you lost. You need to put pressure on the aussies from the start, once they get in their 'groove' the Ashes will be all but lost to you agian.
