Re: Cricket Thread
Well, that was like the 2005 series all over again, only even more so. England had seemingly no right to get a draw out of that match, but they did. The atmosphere in the last hour or so was incredible.

I can't believe it! Give Collingwood a knighthood immediately!
England had no right to draw that match and I love it! Wiped the shit-eating grin off Ponting's face I bet!!

Another glorious English victory. Ranks alongside Dunkirk as one of our best,I think.

FWIW, I don't like it myself. It smacks of the sort of ridiculous gamesmanship that has bedevilled soccer in recent years, what with late substitutions being made for no other reason than to disrupt the flow of the game.
