And now, Essex has thrashed 500 [...]]]></description>

Some Benaud talk:
On the historic relevance of the series

Then England bat like champions on a flat pitch after being 5 down courtesy of superb batting by Flintoff and Jones and captaincy lacking in innovation by Ponting &#8211; giving the English easy runs.

But a line up of a dicey McGrath, Lee, Warne and Tait [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Jason Gillespie has been included in the tour match ahead of the second Ashes test. My gut feeling is Gillespie will cause a huge impact in Ashes 2005 despite his current poor form and will strike hard in the second test. Gillespie is too good to go through such a lean phase for so long.
