England's last chance

This is without a doubt england's last chance.Last chance to salvage their pride,last chance to show spirit,last chance to win.Even as i write this blog england in 5 hours time will face one of their toughest challenges in this ashes.It's time to forget about brisbane and adelaide.They have stand the test of time.Two days,48 hrs will shape whether the ashes promises to be a boring 5-0 whitewash or a resoundant fightback.All done is done.Gilchrist's 57 ball century was pile driver to england's hopes.It all depends on the reamining 5 batsman who will have fight it out.They don't have to be elegant or commanding,they have to be desperate,have to be what we call ultra-defensive(we can coin a term for ultra-defensive 'raina' who's ability to play elegant for forward defensive stroke at 45th over of a 50 over match while facing marlon samuels is complimented).They have to be 'raina' as aussies already smell blood with the wicket of strauss.
Fate of england depends on young man cook who has play in a way to prove his worth and justify his selection,on bell to play when it matters,on KP has play a innings of his life,on collingwood who again has step out and be bold and finally on flintoff only he can inspire this godforsaken team who should have stayed home.Eventhough they have geriant jones who needs bigger gloves cause he cant keep even his life depends on it,he needs to really play an innings that will atleast give him a chance in this team as batsman rather behind the stumps.
Eventhough england's chances are remote,zero,intangible,doesn't exist.I write this post for sympathy.And hope they can do what ganguly did today a miracle
