Who would've thought? Blimey, that was some batting from the tailenders. Well done!

And we were singing....Hymns and Arias! Land of my Fathers! Ar hyd y nos...!

There's lovely for you.

Now, how about you change the title and put spoiler for those watching the highlights? 😉

meh... disappointed we couldn't finish them off, wouldn't have put money on those 2 batting out 60+ balls (and I bet not one English fan would've either!)

Not sure why Ponting didn't go with an all out pace attack, I can't imagine Monty would've been capable of keeping out multiple yorkers or some proper fast short stuff into his throat 👿

Skin of teeth.

Aussies blew it really. Shows up their lack of bowling.

I think the mithcell johnson road show came to a crashing halt, how many wide balls?
Brett Lee wouldv'e finished us off no probs.
We got off a bit lucky but fair play to Colly and the tail, they did the business, 1st and 2nd inns the first 5 were poor.

I reckon Monty and Anderson will get a ticket tape parade out of that innings, maybe even a Knighthood 😆

Was poor bowling from Johnson, I really don't know why Ponting didn't give the ball to Siddle, he was showing real fire and I reckon he would've taken Panesar out easily...
