10 to win, 7 wickets down & Warne & Lee bowling out of their skins - it is a bit tense ;)

Absolutely terrific win, Hoggie & Giles saved our day.

Clearly the last & 5th test at the Oval is going to be thrilling.

The remains of the wickets from the 1st test match between Aus and England, they were burnt after the match i believe.

a fair comparison?

Re: Cricket
 

:monkey: Not strictly true. it is rumoured that burnt bails are in the urn but it has never been confirmed.

After that mock obituary appeared in the Times some ladies allegedly burnt bails and placed them in a small urn which was presented to the England captain, I think his name was the Hon.Hugo Bligh a relation of the infamous Captain Bligh of the Bounty.

Roll on the 8th September.

Re: Cricket
 

correction, it was the Honourable Ivor Bligh, captain of England

Re: Cricket
 

oh i hope the weather doesn't prevent a decent game

the Oval will suit Brett Lee, Shane Warne - and McGrath if he can return - game on ;)
