Now, the last time England beat the Aussie's at Lords was also the year when Lancashire last won the County Championship outright.

Here's hoping history repeats itself

I love the way Ponting has a scar on his right cheek. It's like a duelling scar and he got it from the 2005 Ashes after a ball hit his helmet into his face and cut him. He'll look in the mirror for the rest of his life and remember how he got it.


Hurrah. Thanks for the early birthday present Freddie. Quality. I wonder how many people will congratulate me tomorrow??? I wonder how many won't even mention it over here.

Judging by things back in the office it is 2005 all over again, i.e. everyone is suddenly a cricket expert again.

Marvellous.

Funny how you never see any of the Aussie posters when things aren't going their way. League Freak was all over the Ashes thread in 2006/07. Never mind.

Superb bowling performance by Flintoff. A mammoth spell.

Ricky Ponting, Kylie Minogue, Dr Kennedy, Skippy... your boys took one hell of a beating.

Let's hope the ECB have plenty of cotton wool to wrap Flintoff in until next week.

Did you say you have taken the risk of getting tickets for the final day at Headingly? We've been considering it but I'm loathe to pay for something that might not be on and we dont get the money back

I'm waiting for Andy Gilders take on the days play Superb display of fast bowling from Freddie and as I posted after his rant about Freddie a few weeks ago 'no Flintoff/no ashes for England'

Now lets hope the next 10 days will be enough for Freddie and KP to rest and be fit for the 3rd test.
