Records fall for England batsmen

Records fall for England batsmen :

"Paul Collingwood has joined elite company by becoming only the third batsman from England to post a double century in Australia, as the tourists continue their domination of the second Ashes Test."

I can't believe they've just got Langer out!! Langer! What was he thinking? All credit to Paul Collingwood. That was a mighty innings and it had us with our thinking caps on. The English have settled into their stride and they are playing a magnificent match. The Australians too. As usual a season of fantastic results ,then weirdo stuff like Langer out for 8. That's cricket. It's compelling . Worthy of the Ashes. Two capable, effective, talented sides. Whoever wins will have earned the Ashes because no-one is having an easy time of it. The Barmy Army is incredibly positive and supportive of its team. It's good to hear them cheer and get onside. It's been a fantastic test series so far...but what will happen now England has declared at 551 is anyone's guess. Last time we got within 2 runs, if I remember rightly. Fantastic match and such talent.
