Hmmm...the Aussie boys are a bit quiet?!

It is good timing.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

Hopefully I can go into work in the morning and give the convicts some long overdue stick!

Another great catch. The end is nigh!

[Shaggy]

Get ****ing in there. At last some joy!

[Red_Al_77]

All over. Any victory against the best team in the world is worth celebrating. Yes we got stuffed in the Ashes but credit to the players who have stuck to the task. Hopefully with KP coming back we can make a go of it in the WC.

About time.
Well deserved victory. That catch was amazing.

Well done to Paul Nixon old timers can still do it.
Roll on the world cup!!

Obviously the recent turnaround in form doesn't make up for the ashes debacle but in context this was a truely brilliant comeback by england.

Only a week or 2 ago Buchannon was asking England & NZ to give the aussies a game, well we have now. Its worth bearing in mind that we were without at least 5 1st choice players, Vaughan, Tresco, KP, Anderson & Lewis. On top of that Giles & Simon Jones may well have played if fit.

This victory doesn't mean we'll win the world cup or that the aussies won't. But equally it shows they are no shoe in & England aren't no hopers.

To those who say we should n't celebrate this victory, you don't know what it means to beat australia at cricket. i've been getting up for years in the middle of the night, to listen to TMS & now watch Sky and seen England consistently get beat. Now we've beaten themI'm sure going to celebrate. it.

England has to be in with a shout in The WC. With KP back they are a very dangerous side

Hahahahahahaha - this is a funny thread . You lot won a ODI tourney and are now banging on about the world cup . Brilliant .

[darkknight]

Well done to the Poms, good to see you take the opportunity Shaggy - we would have .

Our boys took their eye of the ball at the wrong time and your lads stepped up.

The only thing we can take from those two defeats is that hopefuly it is the kick in the ass they need before the World Cup thingo in the West Indies.
