Well now England have won, something I certainly did not anticipate when I started this thread. I am not going to pretend that I am not really happy, I am and it is always going to be great to win the ashes. Am delighted for Strauss and Fred. However I am still left a little hollow by this series and this side, mainly because neither side really played well at the same time and our batting still leaves me a bit cold. I cannot seriously say that we deserved to win but it is still great.
