[Ausangel]

oh well gotta give you guys some false hopes I suppose

And a good knock out there by Graeme Swann too. In fact the scorecard for Englands 2nd innings looks like it has been turned upside-down, with our tail-enders getting scores you would expect from our batsmen and vice-versa.

I did not have the pleasure of watching it on Sky, but i can tell you i was glued to the radio. And it was just as nail-biting.

Well played boys. Roll on Lords this Thursday.

STL.

The opnly batsmen I have any sympathy for is Ravi Bopara who shouldn't have been given out for LBW in his second innings. All our other batsmen failed until Collingwood who I've been critical of myself and the lower order held on for a hard earnt draw!

I found it funny the way everyone was talking about Hauritz being a terrible spin bowler yet he took more wickets than our two spinners combined!
