Edgbaston test

What a stunning match. This is one of those test matches that will be talked about for a long long time - Lucky that SBS decided to telecast it live.

Warnie, Lee and Kaspa got us to within 2 runs of a famous victory, and I cant help but wonder what would have happened if we had got Flintoff earlier yesterday. He and Jones made 50+ for the last wicket, and we had no problem getting to 230 - well, we were 9 down, but just those extra 50 runs was the difference really.

As I had hoped, Punter wasn't too disappointed with the outcome of the match, there are a hell of a lot of positives to come out of it - although the continued average form of Matty Hayden is a concern. Marto has been a bit hot and cold also. Hopefully the inclusion of MacGill will get us back on track, with most of the poms seeming to struggle to read Warnie.

Bring on Old Trafford!
