if all the remaining batsmen got 11 then we'd win. Surely not too much for an international?

Mind you, we should remember that they did declare at 176 for 4. Good sporting chaps. Made a good game of it.Butcher now on 150!!! Supreme performance, as the commentator said.

Ramp was NOT out, ball touched the ground before the catch was made. Still, who cares, we're gonna win anyway
-- Anonymous, August 20, 2001
ooh you're far too generous chaps, the reason the devious sheep sh@ggers declared was to bowl at England for an hour in the witching hour last night. They want a whitewash to burn the bails a la 1920/21 and say up-yours MCC for not letting us take the ashes.ml3

No-one has invaded the pitch, excellent news. Nasser's first match back, made 46 and 55, shows how much we needed him.

Only three times have England scored over 300 in the last innings to win a match.I'm knackered now, hope you all got as excited as I did, but I doubt it. Off for a lie down and an early G&T. Cheers y'all!

I spent the whole day watching this instead of compiling a set of revision notes on the League of Nations for a group of moronic 16 year olds. So if you read this time next year that GCSE standards have surprisingly fallen for once you'll know why!!!I don't hold with this stuff about the Aussies deserving credit for setting a good target. Fact is, they were over-confident and attempting to take the p*ss - serves 'em right!

One TV commentator, can't recall which, said just before tea "I can't recall ever seeing such a one-sided Test Match".
Sums it all up actually.
-- Anonymous, August 24, 2001
Bollix.The only game that matters in a series of 5 test matches is number 4. The first 3 are tedious warm-ups to the main event, the last one sees all players rushing through the action either to get off to home in foreign lands or get off to a football match.
(I reserve the right to alter the number 4 in future test series.)

Fat Blerk ripped a leg break from 6 inches outside Atherton's leg stump to knock back his off stump. I suspect we're in deep dood, again but you can't help but admire the fat git.

He won't be able to bowl tomorrow after I get The Boys to stamp on his fingers tonight. He is bloody fat though for a cricketer isn't he?

So was Colin Milburn. Indeed, about twice as fat ;-) Great character - shame the accident cut short his career.

Yeh but that was then. This is now. If you know what I mean! Could you imagine Colin Milburn hurtling to the boundary and sliding on his left knee to save a four!

I can't imagine any England player doing that!

Chasing 442 just to avoid the follow on, England have stuttered along to 178-4 with Captain Hussein stupidly forfeiting his wicket for 52 to occasional off-spinner Mark Waugh.Fat Blerk at one end, and Glen McGrath at the other, provided a bowling masterclass in the morning session - top class stuff.
