OT - 5th Ashes Test Final Day

[paddingtonwolf]

Aussie MOTM Warne - Aussie Man of the Series - Warne


England MOTM Flintoff - England Man of the Series - Flintoff


Simple.


Will there be enough petrol to take the bus around London??





Another 6 from Mr KP





the bus was filled before the wrap was applied on Saturday morning, trust me

[Kenny-11]

Warne looking tired and dejected................

[Hibbitt was King]

OK Declare now


Now that would be rubbing it in!

[Wivey Wolf]

OK Declare now


NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO!

Could everyone cast their eyes at this for a minute:

Warne looking tired and dejected................


after a night of texting.

[Exile Wolf]

Brett Lee's bowling figures have been great today 15 overs for 80 runs smileys/smiley36.gif

[PREM.L.L]

Although you have to give it to Warne for the Aussies I've enjoyed watching Brett Lee steaming in and having, unfortunateley for us, some great spells.


Also with the bat hitting those sixes 2 of which are still on they're way up!!!


Freddies' been class though.

[Kenny-11]

But they rely on two or three players a little too much


Better than having to rely on 1

[paddingtonwolf]

this Pietersen innings is rapidly becoming monumental

[Kenny-11]

we're going to win 5-0."

Pietersen now the top run scorer for the series.!!

I was going to try cricinfo - if not maybe they would do it at the Mol if you asked nicely and crossed their palm with a little silver?

[Golden Oldie]

Who's your man of the match?

[PREM.L.L]

All in all it's just a pity Ian Healy isn't playing. If there was an Aussie face that i'd have loved to have seen droop it was his.


Wonder if they'll grab an interview after............

[Wivey Wolf]

KP should get MOTM for this innings - it's been absolutely crucial, and in the context of the game, it has eclipsed both Strauss's monumental effort on day one, and Flintoff's bowling yesterday. Not to mention the two Aussie centurions and Warnes' 10 wickets.

I was over in Oz for the Edgbaston and Trent bridge tests and to be fair the banter was good natured (even though they didnt want to talk about it).


Now that they have lost the Ashes it may not be so good humored smileys/smiley4.gif

Pietersen needs 3 more sixes to beat Flintoffs record of 9 in an Ashes innings...............

The world record is 12 in an innings - Wasim Akram. The record for an Englishman is 10 - Wally Hammond I think. I remember seeing it earlier this year somewhere

[Wivey Wolf]

From the BBC website:





Pietersen lofts Warne for six over wide mid-on and follows with a four to move to 150 not out and take England's lead past 300. His six was his seventh of the innings and a new record for England in the Ashes, beating Ian Botham's old mark of six in an innings





Was this what you were thinking of?

[MobNet Wolf]

anyone think we should give it another 8/9 overs, then just let
pieterson slog it everywhere for the entertainment factor, its what I
want to see.

if he gets excited I would firmly expect cricket balls to land outside the office and we are at least 5 miles away!

We should give them a bit longer. We should declare when the required
rate hits 35 an over, just to give them a chance, like.....

Great shot from Giles

[paddingtonwolf]

freddie or KP for sports personality?


Unless Ellen McArthur gets a big vote its a shoe-in

Great result and hopefully this now will be the start of something special for english cricket!


Now lets beat them at their grounds!

[SSW]

It's just dawned on me how much I'm going to miss this summers Ashes
matches. From day one when I caught the first day in a pub in Zurich up
to this evening, I've been hooked!



I usually hate summers without the World Cup or the European
Championships, but this summer the Ashes series has been a worthy
substitute.



Nice one England. It might have been the first real England team win
since 1966, but despite what the papers say it still didn't match the
fervour of Euro 96 when we got to the semis.

[Netherton Wolf]

I went in PJs on the waterfront Merry Hill today in my lunch hour on my own(no one else in the office was interested) there were 3 guys and me sitting watching the cricket, not what you would call busy!!!


But I had a fab time well done England, my Dad would have been so proud of you all, he took me every week when I was young to watch him play and Ifilled in the scoring book, I'm sure he's celebrating now and willed us to win today, just wished he'd have been sitting next to mesmileys/smiley1.gif

I'm sure he would have enjoyed today as much as you and the rest of us <!--
