Fight to win back the urn

Test matches in recent past had seen nail biting finishes. But not this one. Match finishes under three days is not the one we look forward to. But certainly this has shown what kind of team Aussies are. 1 - 0 down after 3 matches. Their spearhead bowler not performing and under criticism due to personal reasons. Any other team would have given up. But not Aussies. They turned the whole thing around and now it's England who is under pressure to regain the ashes. I am sure my bro will be happy reading this. He's die hard fan of team down under which I keep on criticizing for non cricket things that they "perform". But I must admit when it comes to cricket they mean business and time and again they have shown this. Remember in past when they were loosing match after match before last world cup. Remember the famous 400+ chase by the Proteas? But when it mattered Aussies fought back and won the World Cup.

The Ashes series started with predictions from Aussies that they will win 5 - 0 turned into laughters as the first match saw heroics of the tailenders. What a finish. This is test match. I don't think this would be seen in any other form of cricket. The media made scene as if England had won the match. Of course the way they played that was not untrue. Mitchell Johnson performed brilliantly with 6 wickets in the win. This will definitely worry Straussy. Of course he has lots of home worries. Bopara not performing at his slot, Freddie not confirmed his fitness. The whole series has shown that their bowlers are not performing as expected. So to win back the urn, the batting must perform and he will be certainly not happy with the scorecard at Headingley.

But for a sports fan like me, that week is a feast. Decider Ashes test, Europe F1 GP with Schumi making return. Excited to see all the action.....
