Well done England, did really well to take this game like they did.
As for Australia, I hope there's a house of mirrors nearby

They are both going to make the plane.Good bye Onions for Harmison
Take it you haven't been living in England very long then .Now I don't have to here the word Ashes for 18 months!
Bolded I agree with. Haddin had a much better series for me, Flintoff was average besides that one spell. Would take Johnson over him in terms of bowling and nearly in terms of batting too. Swann slides in for his batting, didn't bowl any better than Hauritz.My team of the series,
Strauss*
Katich
Ponting
Clarke
North
Prior+
Flintoff
Broad
Swann
Anderson
Hilfenhaus

Someone to start the 'Road to Ashes 2011' threadWell done England, Australia were weak at the wrong times and England capitalised well, will go down as one the more unusual series victories. Thought it was a touch harsh not giving Flintoff the ball at the end.

And neither of them is Pieterson or Flintoff :OEngland win with two players, impressive stuff.
Yeah. Vettori instead of Hauritz and we are set.England win with two players, impressive stuff.
Nah no way, Prior was better with bat and gloves, though underachieved and really has to stop giving his wicket away so easily.Bolded I agree with. Haddin had a much better series for me, Flintoff was average besides that one spell. Would take Johnson over him in terms of bowling and nearly in terms of batting too. Swann slides in for his batting, didn't bowl any better than Hauritz.
I wasn't impressed with Ponting's captaincy yesterday. He defended against players of the quality of Broad and Swann simply because they were behind in the match. He should have been thinking, "hey, we're behind here, but the only way we're getting back in the game is to take these last few wickets as soon as possible" and setting fields consisting of 11 sweepers wasn't going to do that.Mo Matthews just said Strauss out-captained Ponting.
Hard to say as Hauritz didn't get to see out the series, but in the matches they played together Hauritz was better.Hauritz over Swann is ridiculous - Hauritz bowled better than expected, but Swann was better overall.
