Er… within minutes of my posting this morning, that critical wicket fell and I was proved to be the ignoramus I admitted being in my original posting.
I can only say that England tried a lot harder this morning than they were doing last night.
But it is an incredible thought that having beaten this bogey of no win against the aussies at Lords since 1934, it is worth mentioning that my grandpa who had been to the relief of Khartoum in the 1870s, may well have watched the match in 1934 and will certainly have read about it.
Anyway, collapse of stout party I’m off to nurse my credibility and my wounds.

Don’t worry about it, Jon. 99 times out of a hundred you would have been right!
And stand by for the Aussies to blitz their way through the rest of the series.
All is forgiven, Jon.
Besides, as I’m more familiar with the Swedish game of “Bränn-boll” than I am Cricket – I’m not THAT bothered either way, to be honest.
We all played Brännboll when I grew up. It’s similar to cricket, but a lot less complicated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brännboll
And as Vikings, we never had to wear white, whimpish lip balm either!
After all that, and as I must admit feeling a bit Britt-ish nowadays anyway – I’m very happy England did so well!
Something went wrong with that link…

Hi,
I a very strong believer in the Space programmes and believe we landed on the moon, could I ask a question however?
Has Nasa ever mocked up a shot for PR purposes if it was not practicable to obtain real life shots?
ie on google there is well known Space footage, but at 1.33 mins there are spectacular high quality footage of rocket separation just after going into orbit, is this real life or a demonstration of what occurred?
best wishes
Bob
All is not forgiven, Jon. Would appreciate the refund of my quid at your earliest convenience.
