" The Gentlemen V The Convicts "

Come on Jimmy! Great early wicket too!

[HabanoSy]

Yes c'mon England

4 - 1 - Phil Hughes 'OUT'

Ponting next...!!!

LBW!?!, HabanoSy

[HabanoSy]

Get off...!!!

10 - 2 - Hughes, Ponting 'OUT'

Hussey next...

Yeh, HabanoSy

[Simon-JG-hr]

Great stuff - the borderline LBW didn't matter after all.

Bring it on Jimmy - this year's Flintoff? (Well, Flintoff's not this year's Flintoff... )

[Mr Moore]

Here comes the bleeding rain.
Roll;eyes.

[Mr Moore]

On the plus side, if its only a shower the Aussies have to come back out and get there eye in again, would like to see Flintoff with Anderson open the bowling after rain delay, Freddie is always worth a few overs of a new spell in my opinion.

[HabanoSy]

C'mon England

Got to enforce the follow-on now...

Cheers, HabanoSy

[Simon-JG-hr]

What a fantastic afternoon/evening. Jimmy Anderson is in one hell of a rich vein of form - just got to hope it continues for another three and a half tests.

[HabanoSy]

...Are we going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory (again) or can we get those last 5 wickets...?

Nervous, HabanoSy

[Mr Moore]

Amazing.

[HabanoSy]

Well done England, well done Freddy

Gentlemen 1, Convicts 0

Edgbastons up next, can we push on from this great victory, first time we've beaten the convicts at Lords since 1934...!!!

Cheers, HabanoSy

Good to see Flintoff on-song- sad it'll be his last test at Lords

[Simon-JG-hr]

Great result! Just a little annoyed that I missed almost all of the last two days.

Not that we need one, but a great excuse to light up a celebratory cigar! I haven't had one for nearly a month... I need an good excuse.

[Mr Moore]

Im currently trying to get tickets for Edgbaston, dont really want to pay ?150 plus, I might have got a result though so fingers crossed.

Big shout to Swanny as well, played a blinder today !

[Simon-JG-hr]

After a shaky evening session yesterday... this morning England have played a text-book session. Twice they've litterally taken-one taken-two. Keep them falling, get the new batter... Get another new batter.

Australia 202-7

Awesome stuff from Onions and Anderson.
