Re: Cricket
Flintoff comes on to ball on a hat trick. First ball survived but second ball gets a wicket. Australia 47-1

Re: Cricket
Going pretty well - Flintoff's being kept in reserve for the tail I reckon - the other bowlers seem to be on top of the Aussie top order for the most part.
If he pulls it off it's the Flintoff Test for sure. 141 runs from 148 balls over two innings, five wickets so far and he's just caught Gilchrist!

And there goes Gillespie lbw Flintoff 0. Identical to the first innings. Three needed.

Re: Cricket
An enjoyable days play with lots of tension. So, what surprises will tomorrow have in store?
The team seemed to awoken Freddie clearly worked hard as did Giles, well they all did.

Re: Cricket
I was out in the car early this afternoon when Freddie was wreaking havoc, listening to TMS, Blowers was commentating, and not for the first time he got completely carried away, at one point he said "and Botham hit that ball like"
Fantastic days cricket, full of the twists and turns that test cricket provides, like no other game can.
And the day ended just like yesterday, with a peach of a delivery from Harmison this time.

Re: Cricket
It was nice to see Shane Warne congratulate Andrew Flintoff on his batting performance after his dismissal. (73), Coming from the greatest bowler in the world, that was a nice gesture.
England should wrap up this test match tomorrow, but stranger things have happened
Roll on the next match

Even better to see the rotund Aussie tread on his own wicket, after he'd given Harmison some ruthless treatment. Flintoff's storming in again now - one wicket needed to win.

Re: Cricket
My nerves are absolutely shredded - shame there's no whisky in the house, but I'm shaking too much to pour it out. That was an incredible effort from the Aussies, no mistake, and I'm now suing them for mental cruelty.

Re: Cricket
This was a very exciting match, every heartstopping moment. The England team played very well, the match may have ended earlier save for a few missed opportunities. Vaughan and team wonderful. We look forward now to the Third Test, when hopefully the Australians will face a further defeat.
