Ashes 2nd Test

[BWFC MONK]

Looks like it will be a good days play today.

England with over a 500 run lead and 2 days to bowl the Auzzie scum out.

I think it will be very difficult for England given the Australian batting contains some of the best batsmen in the world. I think it will be an interesting battle.

Was all going well until Clarke came in, need to get him out soon to avoid him pulling off something similar to what Collingwood did at Cardiff. Still fancy us to win this one though.

Clarke is the key wicket indeed. England looked down towards the end of play. I hope they can come back refreshed tomorrow and finish them off.
We did have some lucky deisions go our way in the morning and early afternoon, I had this gut feeling they would come back.

Flintoff's knee doesn't look too good and I hope he can make it though the series

Nice start to the day, not too bothered about Clarke myself. with Haddin gone if we can get Mitchell quick we should be halfway there.

Well, thank god for Freddie! When he announced his retirement i actually questioned whether England would miss him anyway, how silly i feel now. Roll on Edgbaston!

Freddie & KP are Englands match-winners and without them I doubt we will win a game so we either need to keep them fit (or how fit we can get them) for the other tests or we will have to aim for 3 draws to take the series.
