pulse Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Bah! I stay up til 4am just to see that both England AND Australia are losers. With that said, Australia destroyed the English team, when suddenly they were down 5 wickets at 28 runs, but then somehow they found some feet and just dragged themselves over the line at the end. Still, it was a good game, and a good series, and if today's game is any kind of indication the Ashes series is going to be something pretty interesting!

pulse Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 A real draw. England needed 3 from the last ball, with 1 wicket left, and scored 2 (with a big appeal). It looked all over though, when after 15-ish overs England was 28-5. The 6th and 7th managed to put together a 130+ run partnership (from memory) before Australia took the rest of the team out in pretty short order. Australia was all out for 196 about 5 overs early.. England sent Australia in to bat. But yeah, came down to the very last ball, and Australia bowled a no ball at the start of the over... If it wasn't for that..... It was decided with 2 overs to go if it ended up in a draw, Australia and England would share the cup. I think that hexxed it Anyway, the Ashes is where the real men will play, that's what really counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
