2 RUNS!
I feel Australia were unlucky to loose, having done all the hard work ! The last wicket was not even out ! Poor umpiring from Rudi Koertzen. |

What a match that was. I have watched this match from the first ball, and what a performance by Andrew Flintoff. He was absolutely, as they call him, the superman for England. I was always supporting England in this match, and I felt the same way when India wins a close match.
Flintoff was simply outstandng in his batting the other night and next day taking 4 big wickets, boy, what a performance. How good he has emerged as a team player over the years. He has won this match entirely on his own. Australian tailenders once again almost pulled a victory out of nothing. They are the most dangerouse tailenders of the world cricket. How often they have done that and almost did it again. But this time it was a very special performance by shane warne and Brett lee and not to forget Kasporowich. Overall it was a fantastic match.

Hats off to England for winning that match and drawing the series
 Now we have an exciting series on our hands ! Hopefully McGrath will be back next game. Warnie one more wicket away from 600, what an awesome career he has had. Prince Ali |

I mean the guy's marriage has just collapsed, all the details of his seedy personal life have been splashed in the newspapers, Channel 9 in Australia have stripped him of his $300,000 annual contract followed by similar action from a couple of his other sponsors, but he is still bowling as good as he's ever bowled!

Brett Lee can be fairly expensive in terms of the number of runs he concedes, but he is a proven wicket taker. If it is a spinners pitch, then Stuart MacGill will be just as good if not better than Warne, and it will be an interesting third match starting this Thursday. Anil |

Given the weakness of English batsmen against spinners MacGill can prove to be a good bet for Aussies. Cheers, V i V e K ...
