Commiserations and well played to our Aussie chums.

Of course, they never gloat. Ever, at all. Nope, not even slightly.

The Mother Country has re-asserted its pre-eminence amongst the family of Empire and taught those parvenu Australians an important lesson.

Not sure about that Collingwoood chappie, though. Not clubbable, in my opinion.

Well, Australia can't win every game. They have to throw one occassionally.

Could someone try clubbing him to test your hypothesis?

Anyway, the real deal comes when you venture down under to return those ashes you borrowed...

Aye, the 20/20 is but a snack, the Ashes are the banquet. Can't wait.

Fucking hell, typical English sporting slime.

They win one hit & giggle tournament, in the hit & giggle rounders version where they were not so long ago beaten by the fucking NETHERLANDS, and their incompetent knee-jerk reactionary sporting slime is talking about them establishing a "one-day dynasty".

There are no worse winners on the planet than the English.
