Right, time for some Xenophobia:
England today started off trying to win the first Ashes test at Lords for the first time in 75 years or so. After Fred Flintoff removed one of the 'danger men', Brad Haddin, early on, Graeme Swann took the prized wicket of Michael Clarke and the Australian Innings slowly fell apart, leaving Wallabies skipper Ricky Ponting with some thinking to do ahead of the third Test at Edgbaston on the 30th of July.
Leading the series 1 game to nil with three left to play, there is still a chance of Glenn McGrath's prediction of a 3-1 Aussie Victory coming true, but it's looking slightly more remote now.
Still, I'd love to see the test in Brum and considering that I've booked the week after to go to London for the NG meet, I'll be missing the Headingley Test as well, before the boys return to - you've guessed it - London for the final test.
Still, thankfully I can still catch up with it all on Five :)
