Personally as Ian Botham said he is being wildly optimistic.

Good toss to win, excellent start from Broad.:cool:

My eyes can quite believe what its seeing here.:D

Anderson, who's he?:D

Well at this rate, is there going to be room for Anderson in the 5th Test if he is fit?

Just hope this doesn't mean England will be the same when they bat. At this rate, England could be batting before lunch!

What a bloody amazing catch.:shocked:

29/6! So want to swear here. This is the stuff of dreams.

l simply don't believe it.:D

Australia all out for 60, top scorer - Extras.

Now to see England all gone for 59?! Or even 10, force to follow on and gone for 40.
One day test match.

Waits for den to post about how the English team could have done better...... :D

No for once l am speechless and still trying to take it all in.:shocked::D

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Was working today so only watching the highlights just now. Amazing day, delighted for Broad especially as the Aussies hate him :D Surely England must win back the ashes now

I suspect England will collapse to 300 all out tomorrow, Aussies make 450 in their second innings, thanks to a double century from Mitchell Johnson, leaving England 210 to win which they'll just fall short of. England will then to win the 5th Test and Ashes though, it's a funny old game...
