    We've got it in the bag now! This Australia side are not good enough, IMO, to get enough runs off so few Overs, to pull the win off.

    Pietersen now has the highest score of the match, and the highest average of the whole series!

    Less than an hour for 2 more English wickets and The Aussies to get over 300?

    I think we've won this series :D :D :D :D :D

    Football "Fans" should learn a lesson from cricket fans. Warne and McGrath have been well applauded by the English fans for their contributions, and deservedly so.

    When an Aussie got struck hard with the ball, the English batsmen came straight over to make sure he was alright.

    The Aussie batsmen say "Well bowled" when they are dismissed.

    Credit to all

    (All out for 335)

    And they don't openly swear on TV! - I think I saw Giles say b*****, but compare that to the filth that comes out of some footballers mouths (Rooney anyone?)

    Was it ever in doubt? :D

    Persoanlly, I think we can win at least the next 2 Ashes series in 2007 and 2009. I have a feeling England are going to dominate world cricket for the next decade.

    Hopefully our impending cricketing dominance will take the focus away from the over-paid, over-sexed and overly-shoppoholic football "stars." ;)

    What a GREAT day!!!! :D :D
    I feared the worse when those early wickets fell, especially Freddie. But KP was just amazing and saved us.
    Well done England (and Wales) and also congrats to the Aussies because they gave us a great challenge [face_dancing]
