to some of the greatest matches ever played.1971 vs Australia, 4th Test, Sydney, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 January:An incredible performance by Ray Illingworth's men which ended with England's largest victory over Australia since 1936/37. 96 runs ahead after the first innings, England put Australia to the sword in the second with Boycott's 142 not out and 50's for D'Oliveira and Illingworth helping England to 319 for 5 declared, setting Australia 416 to win. Jon Snow then ripped in to the Australians with figures of 7 for 40 reducing them to 116 all our, giving England a comprehensive victory by 299 runs.1972 vs Australia, 4th Test, Headingley, 27, 28, 29 July:A dynamic performance by England that saw the Australians defeated with two days of the Test match remaining. The Australian batsmen were skittled out for 146 in the first innings and 136 in the second, 'deadly' Derek Underwood doing the damage with figures of 10 for 82. England were left with a mere 20 runs to win after reaching 263 in their first innings, and swiftly rapped up victory by 9 wickets.1974 vs India, 2nd Test, Lord's, 20, 21, 22, 24 June:Mike Denness won the toss and elected to bat, a decision that was fully justified by a massive total of 629 runs with himself, Dennis Amiss and Tony Grieg all making centuries. India, forced to follow-on having made 302 in the first innings, were then dismissed for an amazing 42 runs, giving England victory by an innings and 285 runs.1975 vs Australia, 2nd Test, Lord's, 31 July, 1, 2, 4, 5 August:Having been annihilated in the first Test the omens were not good for England, but a new look team, including test debutante David Steele, had other ideas. Winning the toss Tony Grieg elected to bat and England made 315 with a debut 50 for David Steele, 96 for Tony Grieg and 69 for Alan Knott. Australia made 268 then England piled on the runs, led by John Edrich's 175, to declare their second innings at 436 for 7, a lead of 483. Australia were left to hold on to a hard-fought draw.1975 vs Australia, 3rd Test, Headingley, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 August:An incredible game for many reasons. David Steele top scored in both England innings, scoring 73 of England's 288 first innings total and 93 of their 291 second innings. In between debutante Phil Edmonds took 5 for 20 to reduce Australia to 135 all out. Australia started their second innings needing 445 runs and the game was interestingly poised at 220 for 3 coming into the final day before vandals, campaigning for the release from prison of a convicted criminal, sabotaged the Rugby Ground end of the pitch with knives and oil forcing the match to be abandoned.1977 vs Australia, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge, 28, 29, 30 July, 1, 2 August:An excellent England performance with Geoffrey Boycott spearheading both innings, having come back into the team after a 30 match exile, with 107 in the first (his 99th century) and 80 not out in the second. It was also notable for the debut of one I. T. Botham who celebrated his call up by taking 5 of the Australian first innings wickets, a feat matched in the second by Bob Willis. England ultimately took the game by 7 wickets and powered to a 2-0 series lead.Bonus One Day International:1977 vs Australia, 1st One Day International, Old Trafford, 2nd June:A tight opening game in the One Day series with the result in the balance right up to the final run being scored. Australia set England 170 to win and at 125 for 6 it looked beyond them. But Alan Knott held the innings together and England hung on to win by 2 wickets.

Advantages: Ectra features like spy challenge and observation test + great quality Disadvantages: May get addicted to this film
Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson-Mr Bean) the last british spy. He has to investigate the robbery of the crown jewels. He suspects the highly prostageous Pascal Suvage (John Malkovich).
In the end Johnny has to save britain from humiliation. Gadgets, Jokes and funny screen play. and the catchy theme tune will have you humming it all day.
This comedy DVD is a great story with great screenplay. And the amazingly funny Rowan Atkinson plays the lead role and steals your laughter.
This movie as a great family film with
language: mild; infrequent
Sex/Nudity: None
Violence: Infrequent, mild, slapstick
Other: None
I got this on DVD and it is full of great extras. Even if you have seen it before these added bonuses on this DVD are great. Full of hilarious out takes and cut secenes.
It also has a great spy challenge, downloads ...
Advantages: great entertainment and side splitting comedy Disadvantages: none
under everyone's noses.
With Johnny truly believing that Pascal is behind the whole thing he infiltrates the French mans business headquarters in London, (after a comical but very embarrassing first attempt) and Château in France to reveal the truth behind the entire plan for domination of the world?.
**IN CONCLUSION**
What a fantastically comical movie.
Rowan Atkinson is a funny man at the best of times, with his ability to look as though his face is made of rubber, and using him in this type of spoof James Bond movie was a genius idea by the writers.
Most of the movie will have you laughing or even crying.
There is a great scene in a cemetery with a mistaken identity embarrassing Johnny English until Bough comes to the rescue. But there are some scenes that are a little stomach turning in a comical way.
There is no ...
Advantages: It was very funny Disadvantages: Story, acting, plot etc
Although I probably ought to have been revising, one of our tutors told us to take at least a whole day off a week. So a couple of weeks ago, I put impending Finals out of my mind, and spent a constructive Saturday (writing music reviews, playing pool, punting, watching a mate's band play Exeter's 'party in the park', Pizza Hut, cinema, George & Davies ice cream and a friends for relatively late night G&T and chat). So that's where Johnny English fits in to my revision schedule...
The choice was X Men 2, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Johnny English, and you'll know by now which we chose... I knew it was a Bond-esque spy spoof starring Rowan Atkinson, but that was about it. My biggest concern was whether I'd be able to put Mr Bean out of my head - as it happened, not much problem, but I kept thinking of that guy from the Barclaycard ...
A collection of six of the best English cricket games from the eighties.

DVD Description
Introduced by former England cricket captain David Gower, this DVD collects the highlights from 6 of England's most memorable matches from the 1980's - surprisingly they are all against Australia and they include possible the most famous of them all in the 1981 Headingly test. Witness the heroics from a certain Ian Botham as he arrived with England on the brink of defeat to smash 149 runs from 148 balls to allow an equally brilliant Bob Willis to rip through the Aussies batting in the second innings. Also includes 5 more test victories and a bonus one day international.
