England retain The Ashes - Congratulations are in order!

Congratulations to the England Cricket Team 2010 as they retain 'The Ashes' in Australia.

All I can suggest is that the 'Aussie's' keep up the practice and they might get them back one day!

Well done lads!

At last!!!!  ENGLAND has won something!!!!!!!

Sorry OZ, we came, we saw, we conquered and at last we didnt need it to rain lol .

THE POMS BEAT YOU WITH EASE IN YOUR OWN BACK_YARD LOL!!!  

Here in the UK we have a television programme called 'Wanted Down Under' where various trades such as Policemen, Planners, Engineers, Nurses, Plumbers, Electricians are encouraged to emigrate to Australia.

I hear they have now added 'Cricketers' to the list of wanted! Lol

Ha, ha, ha, ha......... Hi Phil nice to hear from you again! Trust you are well, even if perhaps a little miffed!

C'mon, whats the matter with you, it's only a game and you never know, you might get those Ashes back one day!! Lol

Hi Ron: thought I should get back in the loop, especially as the Aussies needed a bit of support. I do agree, it is only a game. The cricket commentators here will now savage the Aussie team. If Ponting and his crew had stormed the nearest Melbourne catholic orphange, raped all the nuns, and slaughtered the kids, I could understand the press vilification. However to lose a game of cricket is no big deal. It is only a game, as you say. I think some commentators and cricket "tragics" have a skewed perspective. 

Best wishes to you and yours for 2011.

PS Has the weather improved? Or does it not "improve" in the UK???
