I've just put Test Match Special on to listen to the Ashes
and it's two Aussies commentating! Now I like Aussies but I would really rather have an English chap. It just doesn't sound right.

I know
I rather wish I had continued to listen to it (I changed to Radio 5 LW on the DAB).

At least this time we won it fair and square.
Last time England won it was a slightly hollow victory really.

I think you'll find England won it fair and square in 2005 also...

I presume
we are all pretending the 5-0 slaughter in between nver happened?

Haha, of course not.
I'm just stoked that England have won the ashes, and fairly convincingly too. Also, sending Ponting home with a cut lip and a heavy heart makes DiT a happy man. :)

ahhh come on - Ponting's not as bad as Shane Warne. He's a right cunt.
Nuff said.

Eh?
2005 was far more convincing.

If it hadn't rained at Cardiff we'd have lost.

Edgbaston will have to remain as the great unknown - the one game that there wasn't much to call between the two sides.

And you really had to be at Headingley (as I was, for all two and a half days) to appreciate just how appalling we were there.

Still, let's rejoice now because we're going to get slaughtered in South Africa in a few months.
