Anything the Aussies can do we can do better just need 250 lead then stick them in fir a little bit maybe a session and a half

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Well done England.

Word is Johnson is dropped for either Harris or Bollinger for the 2nd test, good to see the back of him.

Roco, Mike asked me to ask you about a special Talisman you got from him, what's it like?

Lazy cow can't even do his own selling

It's fantastic 2lb14 but picks up like 2lb10 and the middle is a dream you thinking of getting one if so what kind of one? As my one was made for sachin by tim keeley

Yeah ordered one similar to yours Roco.

Around 2.10oz, big profile, low density with some heartwood but trust Mike to get everything right from there as he has done for me in the past.

Got a beauty of a Talisman on the way over at the moment will post some photos when it arrives.

Thanks for giving me your opinion Roco.

Well done England! I was dreading looking at the ashes news this morning, shows so much chaaracter to fight back from here but the job is not done yet.

What do we reckon now, best Australia can hope for is a draw?  ;)

you seem to be forgetting Adelaide 4 years ago. Australia could run through England and knock the runs off. Lead is only 88.

Australia simply don't possess the same quality of bowlers of McGrath, Warne, Lee and Clark then was on top form. I would be amazed if such a feat as 4 years ago was repeated here, becuase it simply shouldn't happen.
