matches with England at their flamboyant best.1981 vs Australia, 3rd Test, Headingley, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21 JulyIt was the stuff of legends, and is unquestionably the most famous game of cricket ever played. England were down and out following-on 227 runs behind Australia's first innings total of 401/9. Enter Ian Botham and a sensational 149 runs from 148 balls nosed England ahead by 129 runs. Amazingly it was a bridge too far for the Aussies as Bob Willis ripped through them taking 8 for 43 and making it only the second time in history that the side following-on had won.1981 vs Australia, 4th Test, Edgbaston, 30, 31 July, 1, 2 AugustIt looked a routine victory for Australia and a fairly ordinary match. England were bowled out in the first innings for 189 then bowled Australia out for 258. England added 219 in their second innings, leaving Australia a seemingly facile 151 runs to win. They seemed to be coasting to victory until up stepped England's super-hero Ian Botham. His 5 wickets for 1 run in 28 balls snatched the game away from Australia and put England 2-1 up in the series.1982 vs Australia, 4th Test, Melbourne Cricket Ground, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 DecemberAn amazingly tight game in which for the first time in any Test where all 40 wickets fell, all innings totals were within 10 runs of each other. Australia led by 3 runs after the first two innings and were set 292 to win after England's second innings. An inspired spell of bowling by Norman Cowans (6 for 77) looked to have secured a relatively comfortable victory and Australia still needed 74 runs with one wicket remaining. However an incredible stand of 70 runs between Thompson and Border looked to have snatched victory until Thompson edged Botham (his 100th wicket against Australia) to Miller in the slips, giving England victory by 3 runs.1985 vs Australia, 5th Test, Edgbaston, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20 AugustA crucial game with the series poised at 1-1 with 2 Tests remaining. Australia made 335 in the first innings then England ran riot with Tim Robinson (148), David Gower (218) and Mike Gatting (100*) taking England to a declaration at 595-5. The draw was still likely until Richard Ellison took the top order apart, eventually returning figures of 10 for 104 as England won by an innings and 118 runs.1986 vs Australia, 1st Test, Brisbane, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 NovemberEngland came into the series having been written off, but the hacks were made to eat their words. A brilliant 138 from Botham in the first innings took England to 456 then Graham Dilley's 5 for 68 kept Australia to 248 and forced the follow-on. In spite of Geoff Marsh's 110 Australia could only add 282 leaving England with 75 runs to win, and an easy victory by 7 wickets.1986 vs Australia, 4th Test, Melbourne Cricket Ground, 26th, 27th, 28th DecemberAn incredible performance from Mike Gatting's men saw them clinch the 5 game series 2-0 against the odds and in emphatic fashion. Australia battered first and were torn apart by Gladstone Small and Ian Botham who took 5 wickets apiece as Australia were bowled out for 141. England then powered to 349, Chris Broad the star with 112, leaving Australia 208 behind. More inspired bowling by England and two run-outs meant Australia were always struggling. They eventually succumbed for 194 leaving England victorious by the incredible margin of an innings and 14 runs.Bonus One Day International 1987 vs Australia, Benson and Hedges World Series Cup, Sydney 22nd JanuaryOne of the great One Day Internationals.

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 seventies.
