I'm not sure how good we were or how bad they were.......

England bowled very well, if "we" is England. Batting still needs lots of work.

Not sure you can put yourself on ignore, although it must be tempting :lol:

Onto the cricket, what seems to cause both teams to turn to shit when playing away? Are so called professional sportsmen really that unadaptable ? 4-1 this series, and we'll retain them next series 3-1, and it'll all be because of our wonderful new coach. Gets me thinking though, if they swapped him for you, I'd say England got the better deal arf arf

Yeah it's ok thanks, I assume it's pretty chilly out there, number 1 but still playing second fiddle to the only series that really matters ;), it must hurt

Seeing as the gap between the best team on the planet and the rest is clear, cold air, it certainly is a bit chilly on top :lol:

I do enjoy watching the Ashes (it's where the great game of international test cricket began and the only things that spoil it are the barmy army and the fanatics) but me, and the 2 billion fans of the other 8 teams that can't compete only have an outside view so I can't get excited about it and therefore it doesn't hurt

Saying that it is between the 2 wanker teams of world cricket - if you didn't have a vested interest you'd know what I mean

Enjoy the victory - your team deserves it and you and all the other part-time cricket fans can savour the moment ;)
