Rhys! Fern! Problogger! Sitepoint! Can you hear me? YOUR BOYS TOOK ONE HELL OF A BEATING!
Yes, England have regained the Ashes. After getting thumped by the convicts 5-0 in the last series, England have won 2-1 after destroying the Aussies in the final test in the Brit Oval. Also, it seems to be a hangover from the defeat that I have only 4 people/companies associated with Australia on my Google Reader, and one of them is a Brit.
Nevermind, we won, hurrah, but I can’t feel it’s a little muted this year, maybe because of two reasons:-
- We’ve learnt our lesson (a good thing) – remember Freddie stumbling out of the team hotel red eyed? Yeah, we kinda want to avoid that now, as it makes us look silly. We’re a little more humble now mainly?
- It’s on ruddy Sky! (a bad thing) - I’ve seen sod all of the play this year, seeing about a day and a half’s play over the course of the series. I haven’t actually seen a wicket as well. Whilst I have been working a lot more over this ashes series, the fact that it is on terrestrial surely affected viewers. Can’t people realise that sports being on Sky isn’t always a great thing. FAW, I’m looking at you.
But still, horray! We won! But I’m not as cock a hoop over it as last time. English cricket fans, are you?

Sorry, I forgot everything you wrote the moment I read “cock a hoop”.
Seriously, who the hell says that any more???
Poppycock!
Me by the looks of it! I was a little drunk when writing this article
Well there’s news reports and stories all over the country at the outrage that we lost the Ashes. I actually think it’s ridiculous. But the amount of controversy over the loss will ensure it won’t happen next time.
Sky Sports is the bane of my life; the main reason I don’t get to watch a lot of sports. I’m happy England won but what is that “trophy” really all about?
