As Indian bloggers(and commenters like yours truly) went rabid on Aussie blogs, annoying the sh*t out of the latter by use of the word ‘karma’, quietly, the tough b**tards went to work. The unlikely duo of Pup and Mr.Spirit-of-Cricket(jr)* a.k.a. Brad Haddin quietly hauled Oz back into the game. As things stand, Australia stand on the verge of breaking the door open for a famous victory
So, one mulls, what’s England’s best hope? Is it that so-called great bowler, and greatest all rounder(since Botham, screw it, greatest ever) Freddie Flintoff? But then, he already has taken 2 wickets, and that’s pretty much his quota for an innings in general.
Is it going to be Swann? One hardly thinks so, Pup is the best player of spin in this team, and Haddin knows enough to block and beat Swann.
Would it be Onions or Anderson then? Well, surely Anderson got 80% of his haul for the series in the 1st innings? And Onions? Ha!Ha! Woe betide the world where Onionses hack off Australia?
That leaves Stuart Broad and Paul Collingwood, both bits-and-pieces all rounders, and it is a telling comment that Strauss would be better off trusting the latter than the former.
Who then can save England?
One thinks, thinks, and thinks….and then it strikes one…Eureka!
Why, it is Rudi of course? England’s only hope today.
What a riot that would be – 3 South Africans in English garb screwing Australia? Sounds delicious.

CPD, tell you what, humble pie never tasted better ever :-)
I am glad that I was wrong about Flintoff!
P.S: My feeling at EOD yesterday was that "Surely, Michael Clarke will not anchor a record chase". That somehow doesnt sound right at all, but I have a poor record of predictions when I post them online(which is something this post has clearly proved!). So, desisted from putting that here. Glad I did!
