*Official* Fourth Test at Headingley

Any other Australian team of the last 15 years would be 2-0 or possibly 2-1 up by this point.

In other news, good work Australia, fair enough, easily the best side the last three days.

Bell and Bopara must go.
Maybe, probably even. But we've toured India, SA, WI in the past year and haven't got this kind of ridicule from any of them. England love to stick the boot in and that's what makes this win so awesome :D

It's not about the celebrating, but how far you guys take it across the board. It's what made 06-07 so good as well - not the fact you guys won 05, but the fact you celebrated and went on about it for years afterwards.
English sporting triumphs are like hen's teeth, tbh, so they always get done to death.

So familiar am I with 1966 & all that I can name the team for the final off by heart without thinking, despite it happening best part of a decade before I was born.

1966, 1981, 2003, 2005. They are the only years you would learn about if you studied English sporting history I reckon :ph34r:

listening to the poms I thought it was still 2005 in England. They still dont have a clue what happened in 2007.
The fact that in the TV advertising for this series all refrence is to 2005 and 2007 is never mentioned just makes me laugh.

England should probably bring back the Ramps, he offers some experience and good form. Can really see him standing up to our bowlers and playing big innings. At the moment guys like Bell and the Bopara have no clue how to play international cricket.

TBF Sky are actually trying to get an audience of mainly English people to watch, so from an advertising point of view too many overt references to a 5-0 cornholing might be a bit of a downer.

Yeah true, though they could have packaged it along the lines of "Last time a brave England were beaten, but now it's time for Revenge!" or something like that, rather than pretending that an entire series never happened and sweeping it under the carpet.

Ramps main issue is the inability to handle pressure and you want to bring him back for the biggest game of the year or even decade!? That said, I agree he should play instead of Bopara or Bell simply because he couldn't do much worse (run down the pitch three times and then get out for a duck, maybe :p).

Is that Graeme Onions or do you consider an onion a suitable replacement for either Bell or Bopara?
