			As long as Anderson starts today like he finished yesterday and the rain stays away England should win it.

			I must admit that at 47/3 on Day 1 I feared the worst.  Happy that it proved to be wrong.  Can we make it 2-0 at Lords on Thursday?

			England's record at Lords is not the best TBH, especially against Australia.

			Had a look at their record at Lords in the Ashes since the 2001 series.
 01 - Australia by 8 wickets
 05 - Australia by 239 runs
 09 - England by 115 runs
 13 - England by 347 runs
 15 - ???
 
 I predict an Aussie win this week, but only because of the pattern that there has been this Century.  Naturally, I want an England win this week.

			I'm going to Lords on Thursday, every time I've been to see England play we've won so hopefully that run continues!    |
