The Wheel is Forever
Regardless of people annoying each other in this thread, what an absorbing hour of cricket. If we only focused on that.....makes me want to get off CW and just enjoy TV.

Wonderful bowling, some nice strokes..plenty of hearts in mouths, etc.

Oval 09 was almost exactly like this. Except the catches were taken.

Seriously, McGrath-esque currently. Every ball full of a length on off stump.

Tendulkar choked then, looked fine till he got to 32 then scratched around and got the edge he deserved.

As for the 2 drops, :@:@

Broad bowling very well here, looks like running through the Indian line up every over.

Context has to be taken into account as well, though. It won us the Ashes in a high pressure situation, after the openers had a decent start, IIRC. Also, was so clever, with the use of cutters and change of pace. Not much in it, though, admittedly.
