AUS 202-7 - Haddin brings Australia to the 200 mark with a thick edge. A respectable innings from the wicketkeeper, who moves on to 33.

AUS - 258-8 - Siddle gone from Swann's delivery and class fielding by KP! One more to go!

ENGLAND HAVE RETAINED THE ASHES.

SUCK ON THAT RICKY PONTING

[Madmax 9,219]

Meh.

Indo-Pak is the rivalry in cricket. Ashes only comes a second. Having said that, I enjoy watching it.

Btw, India in with a sniff against SA in the 2nd test. Need a win to avoid series defeat.

So far a perfect day Max! England beat Australia.. India beat South Africa.. Chelsea to beat Bolton?

[Madmax 9,219]

^ Yeh. 1-1! I'm actually delighted. Had given up on our chances after the first half batting performance.

True, but to English fans its the number one

[Madmax 9,219]

Yeah fair enough ... for us in the subcontinent, nothing beats the tension and rivalry of an India - Pak game. It's not uncommon for soldiers on either side of the border to fire a volley of bullets in the air when their side wins!

Watching that as a 7 year old at the 1996 WC, some things you never forget

But really, IMO the passion of an Indo-Pak game is just on another level ... having been a single nation until 1947 and then fighting 4 wars till now with continued tension on either side, it just can't be matched. Well for me, anyway. I'm sure LDN will agree

Can't stand the Australian Cricket team. Glad they got stuffed!
