Ok we're virtually done for the series now so here's my XI:

Andrew Strauss(c)
Alistair Cook
Jonathan Trott
Kevin Pietersen
James Hildreth(JOKE!)
Michael Hussey
Ian Bell
Matt Prior(wk)
Graeme Swann
Peter Siddle(with his teammates being crap he's done remarkably well to keep going and taking wickets and scoring some runs too).
Chris Tremlett
James Anderson.

It is well marketed but the Ashes is a 2nd rate series these days.

Australia are he Liverpool FC of world cricket.

Winning in South Africa or India would be a much bigger achievement, but there is no special name for these series.

No it wouldn't. You've just tried to dismiss over 100 years of historic rivalry due to a short term drop in form of the Aussies and I'm not having it mate.

We were crap before Botham smote them with his mighty blade in 81

It's taken 25 years for us to be able to compete with them again. Who knows what will happen in the next 4 years.

It's a sad reflection on society that some are willing to so quickly dismiss the past. It is our histories that define us and everything we do now only adds to our history it can never replace it.

THAT'S what we needed.

257 - 8.
