Yeah that was a great knock

Oh man what a fucking awesome Test match! Laxman you beauuutyyyyy! Really chuffed!

Incredible finish! I did love when Laxman threatened to beat Ojha with his bat for not running

[Madmax 9,219]

Batman. Superman. Laxman.

Poms 1-0 Roos

Don't care about England, but love seeing Australia lose. How the mighty have fallen.

HAVE THAT PONTING YOU CUNT!

Rant over.

Koala botherers on about digging up Shane Warne now -smacks of desperation

On a side note, if we beat New Zealand in the last ODI, we'd have gone through 2010 unbeaten at home! Invincibles.

And, we'd go top of the ODI rankings, as well as being on top of the Test rankings.

Now all we need is a World Cup to celebrate a highly successful year :champions:

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Barmy Army!

[Madmax 9,219]

I'd be astonished if we don't win the World Cup tbh. I mean sure luck's always a factor here but unless we underperform, I can't see another side that can beat us on our own patch. Gonna come to Mumbai for the tourney? I'll be there for the final (atleast)!

I'm actually trying to get something sorted! I'll let you know though.

& yeah we have a good team, a balanced team! The Little Master is showing his amazing class as usual, Sehwag and Ghambir show why they're probably 2 of the most dangerous opening batsmen in the game. Zaheer, Harbhajan, Ojah and Nehra show why our bowling front has been on a high this year and Dhoni + Yuvraj show why when they feel like it, they're the most explosive batsmen in the world.

The emergence of Y Pathan will certainly help our cause too

[Madmax 9,219]

Embarrassment of riches really.

Top order - Sachin, Sehwag, Gambhir, Vijay

Middle order - Dhoni, Raina, Yuvraj, Kohli, Pathan, Rohit Sharma

Spinners - Harbhajan, Ojha, Ashwin

Seamers - Nehra, Praveen, Zaheer, Sreesanth, Ishant, Munaf

God bless the IPL (for Ashwin, Praveen, Ojha, Vijay & Kohli)

Where has Monty Panesar disappeared? I remember the hype that surrounded him circa 2007-08 but now he's nowhere to be seen

He's in the 15/16 man squad. Had a rough spell in the team, showed no variety whatso ever, and Swann got in the team, who is far superior to Panesar, obviously.

Fantastic scenes at the MCG.... it'll be an hour or so before we officially retain the Ashes!

AUS 172-7 - Tremlett dismisses Johnson with a superb reverse swing delivery that the batsman gets a thick inside edge on!
