That's a much bigger win. And 424 from little over 100 overs is actually really likely... Feel slightly sorry for Siddle. 27 Overs!

That declaration didn't work then did it .

Thought I'd declare on 209. Knowing I could bowl Australia out for under this, and enforce the follow-on which happened.

Then bowled terrible in second innings; and hoped to win by 10 wickets to unlock the achievement! But Cook went for a Golden Duck and Strauss went for a duck as well!

Next time I won't declare at all! I'll just continue to slog them!

Scored 402 off 105 overs.

But then the CPU came into bat and ruined the game by slogging every ball for 6 and doing suicidal run outs, theyre like 50-5 now. Very disapointing.

I thought I'd finish my Ashes series just before the real one concludes later this week!

The Fifth Ashes test - (currently 2-2!)

England bring in O. Shah to replace Collingwood.

Australia won the toss and decided to field first.

1st innings:

England: 302 all out (Cook 59; Flintoff 55; Pieterson 78)
Australia: 321 all out (Ponting 88; Clarke 92)

2nd innings:

England: 341 all out (Shah 103; Bell 93)
Australia: (Need 323 to win!) 297 all out (North 84; Haddin 75)

England win by 25 runs!

FINAL SCORE: England 3 Australia 2

England win the Ashes!

Replaced Collingwood because he scored a total of 23 runs in 4 innings over the last 2 test! It really worked out though!

It wasn't that bad because they were about 285-ish for 9, so I just had to bowl out their bowlers in under 30!

Australia -

Ricky Ponting 65 (43)
Mitchell Johnson 48 (105) *
Brad Haddin 33 (72)

231 all out.

England started brightly by getting Simon Katich out for a duck after just 3 Australia runs. Things just kept better and Australia's running was all over the place. By the time Marcus North was run out for a duck, it was 83-5.

But Swann came into the attack and Ponting and Watson were hitting boundaries like they were nothing and Swann kept hitting no balls as well. They took around 30 off the over.

Eventually though after a quick amount of wickets it was just down to Siddle and Johnson. But although they got very few runs they kept in their. In an act of desperation Paul Collingwood was given the ball and he got out Siddle with his second bowl. All out for 231.

What happened? Tight bowling? Bad batting?
