Excellent!  I'm due down that way next year; it'd be nice to wear an "Ashes holders" pin on my jacket  lol:

The fact that it's happening 5 mins drive from where I'm seated ...  whistle:
When we won the trophy last time I happened to be in Tesco's carpark, just the other side of the Gas chambers... the roar of the crowd was amazing!  lol:

Well ~ we in this country have far too little to celebrate sporting wise (or in any other direction at the moment) so I think we deserve this ~ even if the ethnic qualifications for playing for England are pretty thin.

I reckon we need at least 200 to make sure of it. 250 would be better.
A lead in excess of 375 should be enough.

We are already 203 in front

It's what, 6:30pm, an hour or an hour and a half to go? I'm in favour of the solid, steady nightwatchman approach... hold your nerve and only take them when they're given away. There's two days to seal this victory.  whistle:

I am now not pleased ~ Bell caught for 4!


Only 206 in front. We need another 150 at least.
