England just clinched the series with their 5th win in 6 tests (the 6th being laras 400 and that flat wicket in the windies)

Steve Harmison (legend in making) has 38 test wickets in 2004 alone now, Hoggard is bowling as good as I've seen, and Guys like Freddie Flintoff are playing their best yet, and with Jones & Strauss coming in, things look good for the future

Bring on the South Africans this winter for the official world number 2 ranking, and then Bring on the Aussies sometime soon as this England team is going to be our best in 20 years since Botham

Excellent display again. The bowlers showed in the second innings how good they are after a poor first innings display. Looks like they have made the right choice picking Jones as the wicket keeper with his maiden ton in only his fith innings

can only see 3 needed changes too in the near future, giles perhaps, thorpe & butcher when they get too old, the rest of the team are pretty much in their prime or moving into it, so we must have a good team for the next few years hopefully

Too bad you can't beat us.....

No seriously........

the black caps arent that great ian, good but not great. at least england are moving up, but as they say, false hope is better than no hope

funny how the kiwis got pretty pissed off about this and decided it was time to whip them in the rugby cant get over it..australia has no hope
