From the beeb commentary:

The Aussies keeping England waiting, bit of mind games from Punter. Nixon clips Bracken to backward-square and he scampers two. Two needed from five. Nixon digs out a blockhole ball and gets one for it. One needed. Colly hits the winning runs, a clip to mid-wicket and England have only gone and ruddy won! All rise for the Ginger, Mackem Nugget! Give that man a knighthood. His second consecutive one-day ton and he finishes on 120. England's players go berserk on the balcony, and good luck to them, that was a feisty performance and they've earnt some respect. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. Someone else is doing the next two games so that's me for this tour. Thanks for the memories and just glad it finished in such happy fashion. See you at the World Cup.

What a match! I don't think I have any hair left.
With Ponting and Hayden in, and 170-1 from 30 overs they looked sure to make well over 300, yet somehow we took 6-33 from the last 10 overs and restricted them to 252.
I thought we should make it, but then in a flash we were suddenly 15-3 (with 2 incorrect LBW decisions going against us) and it looked like the same old skittled for 110 scenario again. Brilliant partnership between Bell and Colly and then how many lives did Flintoff have? Hogg had them absolutely bamboozled and almost had Freddie out pretty much every ball. How he ended up with figures as bad as 0-52 off his 10 overs I'll never know.
Great stuff from Colly, 2 centuries in a row. We'll probably lose 2-1, but great to see some interesting matches, and at last some actual contests.

Well this has been amazing stuff. Bloody typical of the rain to come now, doesn't look like they will be coming back. All we needed was 22 more balls and we would have won.

Didn't look like they were coming back at that point when I posted that but they did come back not long after.
Ecstatic we won. Doesn't seem right. We were pathetic for almost the whole tour and somehow we are going home with a trophy, ridiculous lol
I was slightly disappointed when it was abandoned. Maybe disappointed isn't the right word, but after sitting through the tests on TV and then staying up late every night for the one day thrashings and then going to those 2 games at Adelaide (the 2 worst games of the tour) and being so down about the whole tour, it would have been great to get to see us win it properly and celebrate and wake up the whole street when we took the last wicket etc.

Plunkett was superb once he got his chance. He sat in the pavilion throughout the tests, perhaps he should have been given a chance on the pitch. He's certainly played himself into the World Cup starting 11, barring injury of course and we are going to see a lot more of him for quite a few years to come. Good to see he's a tail ender who can bat too. Ed Joyce also took his chance. Was poor for the first few games but once he moved up the order he looked more at home, and made a great hundred towards the end, he's also played himself into the World Cup side. I hope Steve Harmison was at home watching some of the performances of Plunkett and Mahmood of late, and even Anderson in the early one dayers - might well encourage him to get off his arse and do some work as he may well have a fight on his hands to get back into the test side. Plunkett and Mahmood should be automatic choices for me. Also very pleased for Collingwood. He's a big favourite of mine as I've mentioned previously in this thread a number of times, so great to see him put in 3 match winning performances in a row with bat, ball and fielding to win us the series. It's been a bit of a nightmare tour for most of it, so at least some of the players can go home smiling.

clap Well done Alex.  You got a boat-load of points that last match  shocking  Did you have Flintoff as your captain perhaps?  Look forward to the next tournie - I don't think that I did so bad considering that I've only been following the England team since the Ashes of 2005.

Ah the Fantasy Sports King wins again eh Wink
Nah I didn't have Freddie as my captain, captain was Ponting. But I made the right changes for the finals, bringing in Colly and Plunkett.

 Think  I had them in my team too!  I still had Bond that I couldn't get 'rid' off as I didn't have enough trades left and Symonds too, for the same reason.  No Freddie though Rolling Eyes  Just looked at your team - you had Freddie and Gilchrist - that's where you got me on points!  I had neither lol

Will have to see what I can do in the rugby now but have used 5 of my trades there  Think
