Ashes Victory!

Well, what to say that hasn't been said? I think we owe the win to Broad's blitz on the Friday afternoon, and Australia's strange decision to not play a spinner. This has been an up and down series, and as Strauss said, when England were bad, they were abysmal, and when they were good, they were good enough. I've sat and watched in amazement as wickets fell like dominos, and LBWs were not given. Some single events have decided matches, and it wasn't as cut & dried at the end as some people have suggested - I certainly wasn't confident it was all over as I left the house on Sunday morning. Still, the Ashes have changed hands again, which indicates an even contest in my opinion. My view was that if England managed to hold position at the start of the final test, we had a chance of winning. I always thought we could do it, and am pleased to have been proven right.

Now it's time to say goodbye to Sky Sports, because it costs too much and I don't get as much out of it as I would like, what with three chillun an' all...

TTFN.
