Ashes
I'm sure that all our Australian friends would like to join me in congratulating England on their emphatic victory in the Ashes series .

Home advantage counts for a lot in cricket; as does winning the toss.
England had a lot going for them this time and won the series 2 -1. The real challenge will be defending the Ashes in Australia in eighteen months - we got steamrollered 5-0 last time! |

As I remember the Aussies were thought to be the better team before the match started so the British victory is that much sweeter.
