Owzat ? Bloody wonderful !
SECOND TEST - MATCH SUMMARY (Day 4) :
England 407 & 182 bt Australia 308 & 279 by two runs
Wow.
The fourth day of the second Test ends with the sort of nail-biter that would seem unbelievable if it was worked out fictionally. I've seen many Test's over the years but this must be up there with one of the closest, most twisting competitions to have been played, either here or overseas.
'Freddy' Flintoff was a stormer with both bat and ball: 52-3 & 79-4 in the field and 68 & 73 with the willow. That storm of sixes, including the one OVER the crowd and onto the roof.....well, it was a joy to see.
Warne deserves a mention too, of course, for the 46-6 in the 2nd innings.
All over though that was a great England win to level the Ashes.
Bring on Old Trafford on the 11th !

Cricket eh? Don't really know anything about cricket at all apart from this :)
"The Rules of Cricket
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!"
Oh no, Cricket rules... the room, it's spinning. (But an over = 6... I think.) =)
I was sitting cheering my heart out on Sunday morning, then biting my nails, then unable to watch, then under a black cloud and finally, with great relief, joyous.
Great sport and great TV but not great for the heart !
