Maybe, the commentator did mention flintoff was flirting with the front line, they've just shown a replay and his foot was just on the front line.

So much for this batting line up.Maybe my tongue in cheek comment about Warne saving the batting could be true.

well this is great stuff by england so far, not getting over excited yet though, the aussies are the best for a reason and top sides will get themselves out of trouble.

I do like simon jones, he's still got a lot to learn but when he bowls a good ball it's really really good, give it a couple of years of staying fit, gaining experience and consistency and i could definately see him in the top 10.

Really wish vaughan would have more faith in him though, never really get the impression he rates him and doesn't give him the best of fields to bowl too a lot of the time imo.

The line is the umpires.... he has to have part of his foot behind the line. I get the feeling England got a bit of luck there...

I'm wondering whether he is !! First claiming fast bowling is the way to go, then saying we'll win..........

We have the capicity to do as bad, but at least we are competing !
