Cricket at the Sydney Cricket Ground

We saw day 2 of one of Englands warm up matches for the Ashes against the NSW Speed Blitz at the SCG.

Despite early torrential downpours the weather turned to 30 degrees and Strauss and Pietersen reached their 50's whilst Flintoff was on 48 at close of play. Trescothick only made 9 before being bowled and left the tour after this match. NSW had Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath playing for them

Bring on the Ashes!
