Well, we avoided the whitewash, and quite right we're in the lead.



Flintoff was inspired for England as he took three wickets on the final morning

I don't understand why we didn't make Australia follow on :?
There's no doubt 500+ was a tall order but if anyone could reach it, its Australia, so why not enforce the follow on and then you know exactly how much you've got to get in how many sessions.

I think that was it, the second Test at Lords won and in the bag. The first in Cardiff was a draw, so England lead 1-0 as they move on to Edgebaston for the third, where we see if Glenn is right and the Aussies start playing ;)

Hopefully they pull their fingers out and start playing like we all know they can. I do think that they should thiink about dropping Mitchel Johnson for Clark. But in saying that he may come good and bowl with some of the venom we know he has..

Andrew Flintoff says he will be fit for the remaining three Ashes Tests, although he won't be picked if he is not going be fit for a full five days for the third test.

I suppose it depends on whether his knee and the other niggles he has. Would be a shame to see him go out like that, and he's the go to man for England when they need to get wickets and the crowd into the game, as we saw in the last test.

It will be a tall order for them to win if he's not picked but then again they do have Harmison waiting to come into the side, and I see him as another who lifts the team in a crisis
