Ashes starts with a cracker

It was a cracker of a match I would say, though it was one sided as aussies were the only team had chance of winning, the english denied them by strong resistance. The gibberish aussies replied strong in the first innings as they had the lead of 239 for the final day. Though Mitchell was not having a great day, hilfinhaus and hauritz nailed the english as many of their top order went for singles. Collingwood, the lone fighter had a battle of his own and fighting hard with the bowlers until 11.3 minimum overs left for the day, and being the ninth wicket, it looks all over for england and paul left the ground, but jimmy and monty survived for all the remaining overs, where each and every ball was cheered greatly. They also made sure that they keep a lead of 13 odd runs, which would push the aussies to bat their second innings after the change over 10 mins. Hence they were fighting to be alive until 6.40 pm, since if the cross this, the aussies wont have a chance to bat as 6.50 pm was the close of match. They did acheive what they wanted, it was all thrilling end to a test match, as it is rarely. As an Indian its always a joy to watch the aussies on the backfoot, now a days, I think the average indian fan like me think that the aussies are the mortal rivals of India than the pakistanis.
