*Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

[Swingpanzee]

Meh. Haha. We won. Woooo!

Seriously, commiserations to Australia fans. Real unlucky you lot were.

 

[Spark]

Probably the most anti-climactic way to win the Ashes imaginable, isn't it?

 

[Cooky Monster]

Its all over, officially abandoned, England retain, Hoorah!

 

[Howe_zat]

Yay we won the Ashes again.

meh

MBEs all round

Ftr Aussies have retained the Ashes with draw 11 times.

 

[grecian]

MBEs all round

Have to give some of them something higher, as they've already got MBEs, Sir Ian Bell has a nice ring to it.

Thanks, safely filed away in "things I could not care less about"

 

[Pothas]

Well that is that then.

Strange series really, return leg could be very good though.

In favour. Would also mean when people say "Sir Ian" all the time they'll be referring to the great man and not the ****.

 

[Howe_zat]

Still think Bell should change his middle name to 'Credi' ftr

Certainly a drop back from Melbourne, that's for sure.

 

[Furball]

We haven't won, we've retained them. There's still a series to win.

 

[Furball]

Certainly a drop back from Melbourne, that's for sure.

See, I don't count Melbourne, I count Sydney.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah 'retaining' means nothing to me anyway. Winning them is all that matters.

 

[harsh.ag]

Yeah 'retaining' means nothing to me anyway. Winning them is all that matters.

Agreed, but the only way they are drawing this series now is if Jimmy has another dry test, the statistical odds of which are too small to hope for.

Congrats to England, and the umpires of this series are seriously a senseless lot.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

We haven't won, we've retained them. There's still a series to win.

Which we will. Think we will win at Durham providing rain doesn't deny us.

 

[91Jmay]

Durham worries me a bit considering there seamers have out-bowled ours so far on the whole.

 

[Furball]

Quite confident as long as Harris doesn't rock up.

 

[BeeGee]

please have my babies ryan harris

He doesn't have a womb. Where's the foetus going to gestate? In a box?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Have to say KP's and especially Cook's reviews were almost laughably bad.

KP's reaction afterwards made his look even worse; you ****ing edged it Kev. Deal.
