The Kangaroos Stumped

Three more needed and Ozies are at the brink of victory. Here comes Harmison, banging a short ball and Kasprowicz tries to get out of the way but just cannot manage. The ball balloons up and Geraint Jones clung on to it like a Barbie! That's it, the story has twisted, look whose rejoicing!

England players engulf Harmison after the final wicket.
Yet again, Ashes have brought us one of the greatest Tests of all times. So after so many years finally the Englishmen managed to pull off a test victory against the Aussies. It was not just a win, but a dramatic triumph that became the second narrowest winning margin (2 runs) in Test history.

Having our guys playing the tri-nation and even without the Edgbaston coverage it was a must to follow this game, as England slowly but surely showed signs of coming to their peak. My boy wasn't it rewarding! The last time I had such a great feeling was during the last world cup opener when the Windies closed in a thriller.

At one stage when Warnie and Lee were breaking the English attack an Oz win was inevitable. It never seemed to change even with Kasprowicz in the middle. However, one wicket is just one, not anymore. So I was eagerly staring at my Bro's PDA waiting till the score shows up without the 9, and Bligh me it did!

Having leveled the series the Englishmen should be in thrilling mood to face the rest of the games. Hopefully we could see the entire series twisting like this one and have a new test leader for a change.
