7 down Watson-lbw (I believe he's thinking of a new double barrelled name as he's been out so often :) )
 
Steve Waugh instilled a generation of steel, mental strength, self-beluef, winning mentality in the australian side that made them formidable. Unfortunately that generation has all gone.
 
They are not a quarter way there with 2 down. .. until Clarke goes I'm not saying which way it's going to end.

England this time yesterday has a no lose position. They ****ed that up.
They didn't **** it up at all. They've been in a no lose position since they walked off last night.
 
yes... there should be good confidence got form the bowling.

wood looks like a new front line bowler for sure. if he can get another couple miles an hour he's going to be awesome.

really cook failed so there are more runs


but we can't get cocky. lords pitch will suit their seamers more than this one. our team were better prpapred for cardiff... our batsmen need to perform well at lords.
 
Great start! Please God we keep playing the same way. Youngsters are a breath of fresh air cmpared to the old guard of Prior, Petersen, Swann and so forth.
 
Good result after such a poor start. Can't complain at 1-0 up for the series I guess
 
We won!

told you yesterday we'd roll them over today and anyone with tickets for tomorrow would be disappointed.

Roll on next match <ok>

This is team could be very good, just need to find a solid opening partner for cook
 
Yesterday was brilliant.

Great to knock that arrogant, shippy lot off kilter.

They'll come raging back next match and we need to again rise to the occasion.

We still have Butler, Cook and Bell to really fire with the bat - if they do and our middle/lower order continue in the same vein - then we have a very strong batting line up.

I don't think I've ever said that since following us - and we have a really in form Bairstow waiting if anything happens.

Also great that Wood and Mooen are doing the business with the ball which is taking the pressure off Anderson and Broad and allowing them to shine.

It was important that the latter two showed up for us to have any chance in the series - and they have!

Bring it on!
