London, England (GenevaLunch) – England dominated the Second Test at Lords but the Australians forgot to die. England set them a daunting 522 run target for the last innings, higher than any side has achieved to win a Test.
The Australian wickets soon fell to Flintoff, Broad, Swann and the umpires till, at 128-5, it all looked over. Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin then scored an unbeaten partnership of 185 to end at 313-5, needing “only” 205 more runs to win.

Seeing a spirited fightback against 11 English Players, a couple of Umpires and hatred fans who still hungover on the Sydney Test, I Wish the Australian Team score the remaining 200+ runs on the Final Day to set a WORLD RECORD which will remain unbeaten for centuries to come.
Ricky & Team, Wish you all the Very Best.
