Can I tell you? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well england got an ass wooping in the second innings (I am really tired and I am about to go out so I am not going to write up a wicket by wicket like last time..sorry). Basically Shane Warne and Bret Lee just killed england. Shane warne was bowling like a demon and england were all out for 130.

This meant they were ahead by 168 and australia needed 168 to win. The runrate needed was something like 5.2 an over. Langer and Hayden were out cheaply and ponting put up quite agood fight. It was left basically down to Hussey and Clarke. They clean finished it off and Australia won by 6 wickets...



wait...let me emphasize it a bit more..
AUSTRALIA WON! 2-0 in the series!

It wasn't a case of anyone snatching victory. It was just the English Cricketers slipping back to where they were four years ago, and making the simplist thing in the world difficult. What was it Australia took 9 wickets for 60 today on a benign pitch. That should have been impossible. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :roll: :roll:

Should have...

Now impossible is nothing with such a strong (but old) side. Australia really are the worlds best. But I hate to say it...this might be their last ashes because ..Langer, Hayden, Ponting, and McGrath and really old. They should be introducing new players in. Only a matter of time untill their retirement.

No they haven't! Look at the rankings..if you go through the top 15 and add up all of the americans scores, then add up the aussie's you'll more than likely see australia will kill.


But either way is good for me... :lol:
