its gonna be interesting if england are out relatively fast after lunch. i think on channel 4 they worked it out if england bat for another 30 or so overs, and reach 270, then aussies will need to bat at 7 an over (!!!!!!!) for 40 + overs to win...

i dont think they have much of a chance. england seem past their notorius collapses of the last few years.

what a year for an english liverpool supporter

[Ckristian]

there was this interesting thingy someone told me about I think it came in the papers, not sure

1981 - Prince Charles married, Liverpool won the European cup, England won the Ashes

2005 - Prince Charles married, Liverpool are European Champions
and England on the brink of winning the Ashes

:wacko:

ENGLAND ROCKS

Awesome knock by Pieterson - I had to follow text commentary

its not so much as supporting them when theyre winning, i think you will find 90% of english sports enthusiasts will cheer on england no matter what it is- even if they dont like the sport. i mean, ive found myself cheering on the bloody rowing before?!?!

I guess every sports enthusiast will feel that way about his/her country

[Stu]

not really, i have a few mates who follow football and rugby and go absolutely crazy for it, but stick them infront of the cricket and theyd rather be somewhere else...

Tim Henman Too bad he ran into Sampras more times than he should have

all the host countries do well in the Olympics - so it might well be england's turn in 2012
