I've adored this series; absolute pure theatre from start to finish. Some excellent Cricket played by both sides and some fairly average stuff at times too, primarily in the form of decision making at key times, but I guess that's what elite-level sport often comes down to.
I've absorbed as much of this series as I can, even pretty much ignoring The Open last weekend, despite my obsession/adoration for that fucking daft/maddening game!
Whatever is said in front of the media, morale in the England camp may have taken a slight dip seeing as we are now unable to win the urn back. I really hope we continue into this match in the same vain and send them home with a proper bloody nose; a 3vs1 loss in the record books would not be a true reflection on this series. We've properly rocked them, no question.
Day 2 at Old Trafford; in all of my years watching Cricket, I have never seen anyone do that to Australia. They were a clueless mess and had no idea how they were going to take the wicket; they couldn't even stop the bleeding. Day 2 at Old Trafford is what they used to do to us, and it will have hurt them.
Regardless of the result of this series, the tide has turned, and long may that continue.
