North out for a duck! Shocker, sort it out Aussies!

I really shouldn't gloat with 3 tests left to play...

I suggest we don't hold back, this may be as good as it gets! Looks like the Aussies won't make the follow on target now, they have underestimated our greatest weapon... the weather! Here's hoping we get to bat in the sunshine every match and they keep having to face Anderson swinging the ball all over the place in the gloom :D.

Though even with the ball swinging this is a pretty feeble batting display...

Never really understood the rules of cricket. Earlier this year I was at a cricket club when there was a game on and the place was populated mostly by old women.

So why did England elect to bat when they could have made Australia follow on? Is it weather, CAN ENGLAND CONTROL THEIR OWN WEATHER?!?!?!?!

If you're referring to the first test, just because your bowlers weren't good enough to get out Monty or Anderson doesn't mean we're cheaters.

The mods are in on the ritual. RUN!!!!!

So it's what's surely the last day, Hussey and Clarke need to get 200 each for Australia to stand a chance, *fingers crossed*.

Who is watching this, it's starting to look like Clarke and Haddin are gonna cause the biggest upset.

Only England could throw away such a huge lead...

Saying that if they can get a wicket early tomorrow I still think England will win this, but it should have been over today. Agonising watching ahead tomorrow.

And it's all over, tourists short by 115 runs. Absolute heroics from Freddie this morning, amazing display from the lad, great finish to his test career at Lord's. Roll on the third test!

England 1 - 0 Australia.

I woke up at 1 this afternoon and it was already over. Kind of disappointed to have missed it, tbh.

I'm surprised bad light didn't stop play, you know what those Aussies are like.

So, cricket, huh? Well, I know nothing of it.
Next time, Australia needs to wake up. Wake up and smell the ashes.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Good Gawd, we aren't even gonna have to bat a second innings and our first innings we took so lightly with the boundary attempts. I hope you're watching this Kirk.
