The Ashes

hows that Prior he appeals for everything and to add insult to injury he screams just like a little girl whilst doing so.

the aussies have been given the wrong end of the stick since the minute that their qantas flight touched down at heathrow disgraceful umpiring yet again

Well done England. Excellent bowling by Broad after the great start by Australia even though the Aussies had the better of the of the decisions. -D

So that's the series put to bed. Now can the Three Lions go on and make it a 4-0 at The Oval? This has never happened before in the Ashes (I'm cribbing this stat off ESPN).

Congratulations to Stuart Broad on his career best figures of 11-121. Like you said earlier Chicken, it was a fast bowler's paradise at Chester-le-Street.

Oh, and while I'm nicking someone else's statistics, how about the Aussies being 109-0 with more than a day to play, and still losing? Chasing 299? Did I hear that nasty little word CHOKERS whispered anywhere last night? The same word they love to plaster all over the Proteas? Cummon, be brave, say it out loud, it won't bite you. Will it? I mean, you used it on others.

Ah, but the wheel turns and turns and never stops for anyone.

Wow what a poor declaration by Clarke. On this pitch there was no chance if taking 10 wickets in under 50 overs. He gifted England a 4-0 win.

at least the Aussies gave it a go. Lots of other teams would have just batted the day out and settled for a draw.

Wow what a finish. :

cant wait for November when they meet again for another 5 tests in Australia.

Yip, wish SA and India could play a few 5 tests series with the Ashes sides.

I also find it strange that SA and England dont play 5 as well. Fitting in the 20/20 has messed the test schedule up. SA and India should be a cracker

Definately 2 test series to look forward to. (tu)

Can you believe there was over 57 million pounds traded on Betfair on this test, amazing.
