Had the series been at 1-1 or had KP blazed a trail in the first two tests it might have been a different story. These are still two average but well match sides and it should prove an interesting series with or without KP. I don’t think that the loss of KP will be a factor.

England used the momentum they gained from Cardiff to good effect as they regrouped and put in an impressive performance to beat Australia in the 2nd Test Match at Lords by 115 runs. Australia’s defeat at Lord’s was their first at the home of <a href="http://oddsbet.typepad.com/odds-bet/cricket/" rel="nofollow">Cricket</a> in an Ashes encounter for 75 years. Andrew Flintoff was inspirational with the ball and England will be hoping that he can replicate that type of form next week at Edgbaston. Flintoff announced just prior to the Lord’s Test Match that he is to retire from Test Cricket at the end of this series. Earlier this week England were dealt a massive blow when it was announced that their star batsman Kevin Pietersen is to miss the remaining 3 Ashes Test Matches due to an Achilles injury that he sustained earlier in the season.

To get 400 + in the second innings was a great performance this series is going to be close Disappointing in the end.

What a feat that would be! Trust the English to screw up a defence of 521. Congrats, Moses, it does look like there is no divine retribution for Ponting - maybe, we were wrong, Ponting is perhaps a divine reincarnation, and we are the devils :-) Yeah, Aus do look like acing this one.
