That is
exactly what I meant in my post above! The overreaction is
ridiculous! If England had lost, there would have been a bit of to-and-fro about the selectors and that would be it. But when the Aussies lose -
the fucking world has ended, Blue!
What would be really cool would be retaining the fucking urn next time we visit their place - the whole country would disappear up its own sphincter!

Yes my simian compadre, they did indeed, beat the Austrian Cricket team, to win a small urn of burned wood. That's it.

Well done England!
Remember not so long ago that people were saying that Australia were so good that they were destroying cricket?? Makes you larf now.
I used to be an atheist. Then I realised I was god.

6 - 0 in the one day series, and a brilliant century by the best batsmen currently playing, AKA Ponting...
Sure, it's not the Ashes, but it helps...

Hearing the Aussies crowing about their one-day success reminds me of them dismissing their 20/20 losses as unimportant prior to the ashes series.
Oh, how the worm has turned.

Well, 20/20
is unimportant, win or lose. The one day game has enough time for at least a modicum of subtlety and tactics, unlike hit and giggle...
