Cricket - a game for old bats?

I agree Kittylester, it is not good to win by default! However, the Aussies are not good losers are they? (I am now going to rush out of the room and be unavailable, in case there are any missiles from Australia).

WELL DONE ESSEX , onwards & upwards !!!

Humph!!

It really looked as though Notts were going to win for a while Nonu but it went downhill quite rapidly. It put them off their stride when that 6 hit my knee!

Yes I was sorry to read of that Kittylester , how is the knee now ?

So presumably that means you live either in or near Nottingham ?

Stopped me doing some gardening this morning Nonu but I wasn't really in the mood and suspect I was using it as an excuse.

We live near Loughborough but DH is from Leicester and I'm from Derby. I don't go to the football but the rest of them are Nottingham Forest fans (COYR!!). We go to Trent Bridge when something exciting is happening although DH went to Grace Road in his youth as his father was a member. Nothing exciting happens at Grace Road nowadays though they have plans to redevelop in conjunction with the Leicester Riders.

Sounds good to me !

Fingers crossed [if can bring yourself to do so ] for the 17th , Edgbaston .

Come ON England !! Lets be "avin" yer !!!

Yesterday evening on the t.v. (watched the days round-up of test match on 5), they were writing off England already! Why? I just do not understand this country sometimes, there are four mor days to go, and o.k., so our batsmen did not get amongst the runs, but for goodness sake, let's see how the Aussies get on (I may well live to regret this!)

Printmiss it is B____Y typical , we are still in with a fighting chance !!!

Perhaps I should send them a copy of "Always look on the bright side of life , de dum , de dum , de dum "

WELL Australia have done well , but still very close , too close to call yet !!

WELL DONE ENGLAND !!!

yOU ARE THE CHAMPIONS !!!

Well said Nonu The Australian press will be livid, but, WE WON, WE WON, WE WON.

Thank goodness for that - couldn't pry OH away from the TV....

Well as we all know Ana , boys will be boys !!

Mine the same !!

Well, we did it without the help of the rain didn't we, and we did it in style. What a lovely day for English cricket, and all the fans, wish I had been there, all that excitement!

Well done England , we are proud of you lads !!

Yes! We did it, but a pity the end was clouded over (no pun) with poor light, I think we could have won the last game, we were certainly in there with a chance. What a laugh to see the England supporters having a chance to cheer their team, although I must admit I felt really sorry for the Australian bolwers, but then I always seem to be on the losing side, so know what it's like to do your best and still lose.
