The rules are quite simply really;

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

This is an out-rage!

gork, JR and all you other aussies they came home for once 

They never actually leave Lords, only a replica travels when the Aussies win.

Sitting on the mantle piece collecting dust.  We just sent them back to the manufacturer for a bit of spit and shine.

... They'll be back in Oz before too long

Tense match the last one. Though the 1st innings collapse really put it beyond doubt.

Congrats...

Well done England.

One thing that impressed me though was Ricky Ponting in that last game.  The man took a drive to the face and was hit many times all over his body while fielding close in and when at bat.  He never even winced.

Tough as nails that guy.

Gutted! Well done, Poms. I was starting to believe that we were in with a chance until Ponting and Hussey blew it. That'll be Hussey's ticket out of the side.

I look forward to getting our side back up to strength, it's great watching a bloke like Siddle get his game together.

Bring on the One-dayers!
