Saw it, wish I hadn't, poor.

You're a worse poster than Bun

I couldn't believe my eyes that UK summer. You Poms beat the daylights out of us in the ode's, we were gone, then you thrashed us in some style in the first test- incredible display really, this coming after you guys struggled in NZ and we thrashed South Africa in SA. Luckily the Aussies kept coming at the Poms and ground them down eventually, to the point where England was back to the usual crap of making desperate selections to win a test, and it backfired as usual, except for Tuffers in the 6th test!

Yeah, that was an awesome series. Got me hooked on cricket. Remember the Nasser/Thorpe partnership as clear as day. Course, after the first test all I can remember are Australian hundreds and Warne/Mgrath

Hope they didn't give Dhoni any prize for MOTS, he might lose it.

Dravid, at the end of his final ODI, making a point of congratulating the MOTM debutant.

Sums up the man and the way he's played this great game, IMHO. Modest in victories, gracious in defeats, upright in his conduct and always played the game with a straight bat (figuratively and otherwise).

Enormous respect is due to a true all time great and (from where I'm standing) one of the finest human beings to play the game.

+1. End of an all-time great's career.

Yeah, Nasser's 207 was what made me a fan too

And Sky are playing Noel's new tune to round off the coverage, perfect

One of the best innings I've ever seen, that Nasser 207, the crowd roared every run for hours and hours, amazing atmosphere on tv, I thought we would get hammered after that but it didn't happen! Poor fielding and too many batting collapses cost the Poms, especially in the 3rd and 4th tests. I guess the 77 all out didn't help morale.

 

[centurymaker]

WTF
DHONI MOTS?

he was the worst man of this series.

 

[grecian]

Gawd Noel Gallacher, what a depressing way to finish a great series.

Be risky, as Ravi and Kev would have to bowl a fair bit. But by jove what a top 7!

Good series, could have been a great one.

My over-riding memory - Waugh under the cloud at Old Trafford changing the series.

Do one, great tune, already got over 30 plays on my iPod and it's only been out a week

Yeah, when Blewett and Elliot are carting you round the park you know your in trouble too.

I won't comment on the middle part but yes, Noel's stuff has been excellent so far. Cannot wait for the album.

Yeah four bowlers one of them Dernbach, might be fun chasing 350+ every match though.

I love Blewey, be careful.......

I agree with you having KP open but you've not got Broad in, our best one day bowler.

Lol, fair enough, Elliot though...

 

[robelinda]

Yeah Elliott was dropped so many times on that tour, I recall Thorpe, Malcolm (more than once!) making a complete meal of less than hard chances, Elliott was a classy player though, aside from being put down so many times that Lord's ton was full of super shots.

 

[zaremba]

Trott's debut ton in a series-deciding 5th Ashes test not cutting the mustard, eh?

best wicketkeeping decision the England selectors ever made tbh
