Yeah I was genuinely concerned after that first innings. England bowled really well and collingwood was a magician in the field.

But yeah, it was silly to subconsciously assume england would get close to 300, they're really buckling under the pressure.
Thank god from my perspective, but I feel sorry for the english fans.

Bell and Collingwood dug in and the boundaries are flowing now, Colly just hit McGrath back over his head for six. Come on guys, a bit of belief has come back I feel.

You would think victory right now would be a formality. 109 runs from 18 overs should with 7 wickets places England well. I have not seen Australia fumble so much in the field as I have with this match.

I certainly would not. Australia are the best team in the world because they have often got out of these situations. However, I believe we can go on from here and win it now.

Bell out for 65, but a great effort again, averaging close to 40 still. Freddie in now, 150-4, 103 runs and 16.4 overs to go. Come on guys.

I'd never suggest that with England chasing. A wicket or two soon will change the complex entirely.

Great stuff from Colly. To come back the way he has is absolutely outstanding.
