3rd Investec Test: England vs Australia at Edgbaston

Finn does indeed come in for Wood. Australia win the toss and elect to have a bat. Neither is good news for England. I'll be thrilled if England can just take this to the final day of play.

Oh ye of little faith. Well done England and Finn.

Marsh to Root, FOUR, on the pads and Root whips it through square for a boundary - that's is,


England have won by eight wickets and take a 2-1 lead in the Ashes

Is there any other kind of England fan? 

After the performance at Lord's, losing Wood and the toss here, this was a massive show of fight and determination. Every one played their part. Jimmy, Finn and Broad were magnificent; they took the game by the throat of the neck in that first session. Sadly, losing Jimmy is a bit of a damper on this result.

On to Trent Bridge we go.

Finn is man of the match.

Should be split : Anderson took a 6Fer in the 1st Innings.

I suppose Finn with the double strike in BOTH innings : Pup and Purple Patch ! 

plus : he never ran into the stumps  ;D

this win was easier than I thought.....

not enuff blood on the floor from both sides.  I want to see blood and limbs everywhere

Fittingly Bell finished it off..and FInn is named Man of match on his comeback game.
Ppl said we might miss woody and that Finn is rusty etc etc.


He wrecked through the order..Loved it !!
