...any one who thinks we have a chance of regaining the Ashes probably doesn't fully understand cricket. We might win a test, draw one, (if this rain continues it could be at Lords), but we are not going to beat the Aussies overall in the Series...

2-1 Aussies would be a great result...

I SAID... (see above)

Well the 2nd Test starts tomorrow, at Edgbaston - a ground where England has a good record.
Latest news is that the England squad is unchanged, followed by Paul Collingwood being drafted in (he scored consecutive centuries for Durham in the last couple of weeks), followed by lots of debate about who he is going to replace (if any) - will they sacrifice Giles for the seaming all-rounder?, will it depend on the pitch?, followed by Vaughan taking a knock to the elbow in the nets. So the decision may be made.
Also, the Aussies are apparently scared of terrorists 😛

It moved along way, but he should have dealt with that delivery.

Potential for a very big score here.

Don't jinx us, but fingers crossed we should put a competitive score together.
Good to see Warne being hit a bit.
Tres just taken 18 off a Lee over too 😀
