Amazing scenes today at the Oval, The Aussies were never going to make 500+ where they? I admit to being a bit concerned with Ponting batting, until Freddie ran him out. It has been a funny series, Australia will say they were short of Brett Lee, but we had Pietersen out and Freddie misinng at Headingly, to be fair the stats point to an Aussie win, leading wicket takers, most centuries, yet when it all boiled down to it England were the better side, Broads spell on Friday that obliterated the Aussie 1st Innings was amazing, helped by Graham Swann who as the spinner was under huge pressure, this was the Aussies bottling it, its all very well making 300+ in the second innings when chasing 500+, but where were they on Friday when the big score was needed. Its all very sweet stuff, after Headingly it looked bad for England, to bounce back afte that with this win is an incredible achievement.
