unless we're prepared to pay Rupert bloody Murdoch for the privilege of watching

It's the end of the line for me and watching live cricket on tv.

a) I will not support subscription tv.

b) Even if my resolve did weaken there, I can not stomach Rupert Murdoch

We'll all be in the same boat next time, Gnu, unless we're prepared to pay Rupert bloody Murdoch for the privilege of watching.

Typical, isn't it? Just when the whole thing gets really interesting.

I agree about the Aussies tho'. As sporting in defeat as in victory, and the best of it was they lost playing bloody good cricket. No disgrace in that.

Congrats to Britain. Good sport to Oz. I wish we could get more than just snippets of play here... days afterwards.

Heartfelt congratulations England!! I was supporting the Aussies, but the whole series was exciting, brilliant cricket and I think both sides are to be congratualted for such well-played entertainment. The English deserved to win the ashes, but the Aussies have little to be ashamed about either. The best thing of all was the wonderful friendly atmosphere of the whole thing

I drank champagne with my Aussie parents and English husband and son last night!

Love Lynne

Well done, what excitement and what sportsmanship and good humour -and what do they pay footballers £60,000 a week for?

I'll be the first to congratulate the English for winning the Ashes,
Desipte all the things I wrote about England and their cricket and their love of the game.

Not bad from a tendious wanker eh!
