Flintoff has to be one of the best players in world cricket at the moment, he has been absolutely amazing in the series thus far. He is the new Ian Botham. England are looking very good, with players like Harmison, Flintoff, Strauss and Pietersen they have a very good team nowadays and it has come as no surprise to me that they have been so competitive.

It may well be England's summer, let's hope so anyway.

Aussies need 20 to win and england need 1 wickets....What the fu*ks goin on, this is typical of england in any sport, bit of pressure and it looks like were gonna bottle it

Funking superb match - Flintoff & Harmison take much of the credit due to taking wickets at crucial moments in the match - i'd go so far as to say that the last wicket that was taken yesterday won us the match.

da du du du amazing stuff lads i thought we had blown it luckly that last wicket went our way big big decision superb before the 1st test the ozzies said we will win 5-0 right right if that aint bad enough some of the ozzies were saying only flintoff could get into there team. :angry:

7_Kewell has gone quiet...could he be Australian?

It won't be 5-0 now, I just hope that all the games are as exciting as that one (and England win!)

I just wanna mention a couple of points. an earlier post mentioned and was angry with the fact that the australian side reckons the only person that would make it in the aus team would be flintoff. based on previous form of players, that has to be true. there are many quality aussie players playin state cricket that would make it for other nations test sides, but can't crack the aussie team. i am convinced some of them would be superstars but for the fact they were born at the wrong time. at one time i would have liked to have vaughan in the side, but at the expense of who?

as for the 5-0 thing, i have only really come across pundits from england that suggest that would be the outcome. I expected the first to be close, but for one or two sessions it was. The second i had no idea, proved to be one of the most entertaining test matches i've watched on tv. and i agree with pontang here, well done for the fighting spirit of our tail enders, but i am sick of aus losing the close test matches. in recent history we have never won close test matches.

I like the australians chances at old trafford. but i believe the greatest asset the aussie team has, is the ability to head-f*ck an opposition team. unfortunatly with the last result, this will be harder to do. our openers have not been able to dictate terms to bowlers. This is due to many factors, bad form etc, but mainly due to the quality of bowling from england. the only other side i've seen do this in the last eight years that provides no relief from either end , is australia.

so well done england, game on !!!!!!

On your only player to make it into the Aussie team, on form, Pieterson would find his way in as would Harmison.

Freddy, Freddy, Freddy!!!
