Ashes 2010

[Sweder]

Well this first test has been a rollewrcoaster so far and no mistake.
First Strauss gets out in the first over, then England stage an all-too-familiar batting collapse, recover by knocking over Ponting and others only for Haddin and Hussey to rub their noses in it on day three. Enter Cook and Strauss to grind the hosts to sherbert on day four and all three results are still possible going into the last day.

I'm really encouraged by England's attitude in this match. Previous tourists would have wilted after day three and they'd all be playing golf tomorrow. Aussie know they have a fight on their hands this time. If Australia win this one England will come back hard and strong. If the Aussies go down the home-based media will have a field day and it'll be pretty much all over before we're halfway through.

I'm loving it
