The better team won indeed! Well done England!:salute:

Australia will come back, some of the newer players showed promise, so there is hope for the next ashes!

Its nice to see an England team play so consistently over a 5 match series and in the previous warm-up matches. Lets hope we can do the same in the 20/20 and one day matches.

Thanks, it wasn't severe. More like a mini-stroke, fortunately (if one can be fortunate about such things). She's already back to Facebooking.

Not quite up to Roast Pork dinners yet, but we'll get there...

I going with four mates and will be sitting no far from the Barmy Army so no doubt if current form is anything to go by we'll be copping a bit of stick all night.

I doubt Australia will last beyond the 1st drinks brake so you'll have an early night over there.:yawn::zzz:

Got back in from a night on the town with Kratos and a few others.....2 cans, a large slug of Nelsons blood with peppermint and a chinese curry and it was all over :o

Looking forward to the couple of twenty 20's and the seven ODI....and yes it would be bloody magic seeing a game with you (reminds me of that night we spent in Houston looking for an elephant steak) LOL.

I think Collingwood made the right retirement decision, he'll only be missed for his exceptional slip fielding, everything else can already be covered by the youngsters awaiting their chance.

Never thought I'd admire a mackem :DL

Anyhoo....plenty more cricket to come and no doubt plenty more ammo to rib each other with in the coming weeks :DL

In the meantime I'll simply leave you with these :O:
