Meanwhile at Lords the first test of the English summer sees England dominating the Windies thanks to some superb swing bowling from Jimmy Anderson early and later Stuart Broad (7fer) and a ton from Andrew Strauss. The Poms swing it, others don't - a sign of things to come when we tour this time next year. And of course, they couldn't get Chanderpaul out.

Anyone who watched the last hour's cricket today would vouch for the fact that cricket's a funny game. Windies coasting at 4/230 with Chanderpaul nudging towards a ton and the chances were that the home side would end up with a sizable first innings lead ... and then Nathan Lyon strikes, five wickets fall and it's game on ... we should get a result now.

There's also young P J Cummins who is on the comeback trail from a foot injury after making hist test debut in South Africa last year. He's currently taking part in an Under 19 Carnival with Australia making the semi finals which are being played today. He scored 50 not out in Australia's innings against NZ. Could make a handy number 9 one day?

If you have Foxtel, they're replaying it tonight on one of the sports channels. Of course, it's nowhere near the same when you know the result. The game will go down in history as one of the more inspired captaincy decisions because the last pair in the first dig looked as if they could bat on for hours.

Strange thing happened to me today. Had a visit from a Hawk supporter who told me he was frustrated with one aspect of the game in that he claimed his team was "crucified" by the umpires. Just checked the stats and they received 29 frees to Geelong's 24. If that's a crucifixion then what do you call 21-1 at half time and 32 - 12 at the end of the game?

Well here's my contribution to this thread which is all about amazing things like miracles happening in unusual circumstances - Crocodile Bites Off Part Of Elderly Man's Testicles In Zimbabwe; Jonah Maturure Survives Attack . Even in adversity of the worst kind, people can survive so why get upset about losing a football match or a pair of agates?
