It's a shame to say that, as this is one of the best performances our boys have put on, and I think this is the best side we've had since (at least) Freddie's golden days... but you wonder if it'd be the same result if Warne was five years younger.
Fair play the lads, looking forward to the next one. Would be nice to cement it properly.

youve never struck me as a cricket fan Glice, where did all that come from?
It hasnt been the same since it was moved to Sky. the 2005 series on Channel 4 was fantastic not just for the drama etc but the universality of terrestrial telly. The silver lining is ive discovered the charms of Test Match Special which really is as avuncular as everyone says it is.
I have to say i still like Ponting, he's like the angry uncle you try and avoid at Christmas, and Siddle's like his son who's yet to really learn how crushing life can be. Dont get me started on Johnson, he's the Gary Neville of Cricket.
