ashes

[Temprite]

Nice to see that the aussie cricket team has given the english boys a chance to build their confidence in the cricket!!!

[FreezerGeezer]

We're going to Bristol this weekend to watch the Aussies get trounced again! (Of course my wife disagrees, but then she is Australian! )

But, were there any South Africans in the English team?

Last heard they had headed down to the bookies to put a small wager on the game.

[Temprite]

All jokes aside....

The English team is definitely looking like it is going to be the next team to dominate in the future.

They are a much improved side

I think that may be slightly premature -although the aussies are an ageing team they still are the best in the world..

Aussies 1 / England 0

(Few steps back...)

Start abuse.......................now

Kevin Pieterson was man of the match. The South African has practically transformed the English cricket team single handedly. He left South Africa because the folk behind the racial quota system didn't think he was black enough.

However, despite the cripling quota system, South African cricket looks to be bouncing forward again.

Pieterson is quite a good player.

shame he can't catch the bloody ball!!

1 all
Well done chaps.
Although we nearly limped over the line.

I hope Glenn McGrath is match fit for the next test.We surely missed him.
(Sure the English boys didnt leave those balls on the pitch that he tripped over?)

[rbartlett]

Well I must say I was more than a tad suprised that we managed to hold on and win the ashes

I would also like to congratulate that fine English man Peiterson (good English name that for sure) on his magnificient 150+
I think all in all a great series and the highlight -for me- was the Aussies coming out last night after a bad light delay with their sunglasses on ;-)

Cheers

Well Done England.

It's been a long time coming.

All Great cricket teams eventually have to come crashing down. It happened to the West Indies now looks like the same thing has happened to the Aussies.

Big celebrations in England I bet.

Hardly 'crashing down' -the series has really lighted cricket here in England. There were plenty of ups and downs on both sides.

However on balance I still feel the Aussies were the better side. I also suspect most here did too as you don't pay 60 quid for a ticket and cheer when rain/bad light is called !!

Bloody Aussies.

They cant beat England for the ashes, but they can crush a team containing 11 of the worlds best players.

We have let you borrow these for the last year you can give them back now
