Actually cricket was the one genuinely classless game. Absolutely every other team sport in England was segregated- some being toff's games while others were for the serfs. But cricket, famously, wasn't. The old saying went "On the cricket field, if nowhere else, all men in the island are equal".

I think the remaining three tests should be played in Cardiff, seeing as England & Wales won here.

Glorious day's cricket. Some green on the pitch, some moisture in the air, and Anderson starts swinging them in like the god of bowlers. This is going to be the perfect antidote to allegations of boring cricket that have hit the series so far.

When I saw you were happy I knew we had a bad day.
Edgbaston is another hoodoo ground for Australia but no excuses.

england made a respectable but unspectacular score; it was certainly game on. australia in reply are 92-5. ouch. will we even get to day 3?"The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

But Anderson getting injured is bad, bad, bad news. That would probably lose us the series.
On the brighter side, I find having a batsman as good as Moeen at number 8 hilarious. I hope they don't move him up the order, because watching him twatting tiring bowlers around the field is great fun.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

No, no, good news, but a pity.

He's not a bad opener, but I'd rather bring in Hildreth- he won't make headlines or centuries, but would rack up 40s doing a solid opener's job.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

fair play to australia, that was about as good a recovery as could be expected. however, surely even england can't mess up getting 121 over 2 and a half days.
