Well - over the last two or three years, we have won series' against just about every cricketing nation. Regaining the Ashes is definitely the crowning glory, and a just reward for all the work that has been put into building the team.

And Guest - if you don't like it, turn the TV off. This country is full of boring w*****s like you, who are too quick to denigrate the place they live. If you can't stand the heat - get out of the kitchen!

BTW - it was really great to come home to three Australians on Monday - even if one of them decided he was English after all!

(And Lynne is absolutely right - the Aussies have nothing to be ashamed of - we did have test matches that lasted more than three days!)
