Good gracious, spiffing

England managed to beat Australia again in the first game of the best of 3 final. We bowled them out for 252. Collingwood with 119 not out finished off the win in the last over. Blimey, three wins on the bounce, it's like the Ashes was just a terrible dream. England v Italy and Coventry v Cardiff tomorrow, could be a memorable weekend. It probably won't be, but here's to dreaming.

Mate PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let us beat the Aussies! A couple of them started crowing after the Ashes (although not as much as you might expect). They've gone quiet again now. I want them to stay that way.

Haha, nice one Sean. It was almost worth the wait, what a come back. I wish there were a few Aussies in my office, but then I suppose they would just deny ever liking cricket, or the umpires were cheats, or ODI's don't count...
