..will get underway shortly.
As a result of the most spectacular collapse since Alec Guinness fell on the detonator on the banks of the River Kwai, England went from 173-5 to 179 all out.
As a result, we went from potentially restoring some pride and confidence to an outfit who made the Keystone Cops look like a crack crime fighting unit.
I fully expect the Aussies to knock off the necessary by about half an hour after tea and earn themselves another extra day off with which to steel themsleves in preparation for the probable 5-0 drubbing.
I seriously cannot see Oz imploding as spectacularly as we did and any light at the end of the tunnel will probably be the headlight of the steamrolling juggernaut building up some serious pace.

Yes, hats off to the Aussies, though they were never really put under any serious pressure.
Some of Cook's bowling choices and subsequent field placings were mind boggling, to the point where I thought he wanted Oz to knock them off as quick as possible as he was on a promise somewhere!
I know the Ashes are dead and buried, the body having been cremated but there will be a major autopsy performed on the performance when we get back home and I'm expecting surgical removal of several major organs in that side and set up!
