Ashes

Kudos to the Aussies for winning the Ashes,
and what a win! 5-0!
That avenges their earlier loss, and the urn returns!!!
Three superlative cricketers, three superlative men are bowing out after the Ashes, McGrath, Warne and Langer!!!
Their performances are ever embedded in the cricket records,
the series has been great,
Ricky's astute leadership, among other things, ensuring the whitewash!
To my English friends, I am sorry, you were facing a far too determined and talented opponent!
Personally, I'd never forget the series for Gilly's second fastest century in the history of the game.
If I hadn't told you earlier, I am one of his biggest fans

Thanks?

Re: Ashes

An historic win, and such a team may never be seen again.

Will make it tough for Australia next time, for sure.

By the way, can you imagine facing Shane Warne ... ? At least no one would blame you when you get bowled out.

Ah yes ... krikkit

Re: Ashes

Yeah, it's all great but next time I don't know if we will have it so easy. The poms'll be wanting revenge.
