This is a bit rich. You won 2-1 after being an embrassment for nearly 20 years.

You had to win a series sooner or later, albeit by virtue of a wrong decision in the 2nd Test. If Kaspa hadn't been given out the result would have been different.

Let's see if you can hang onto the Ashes for as long as Australia did. Australia won't go into a tailspin and spend as long in the doldrums as England did. They'll be ready to go when the Poms come out in 18 months.

As for "having the Olympics", they go to a new city every 4 years. That's about having a enough money to bribe ICC members. It's got nothing to do with sport.

Or are China now 'a proud sporting nation'?

In any event, it'll be interesting to see how the London Olympics compares with the Sydney "best ever" Olympics.

The difference between England and Australia is that Australia build dynasties. We have a couple of bad years and then dominate for a decade. The inverse is true for England. Your rugby side is a perfect example of this.

Well done. England were too good when it mattered most.

Basic differences:

More hunger for success
A captain who could actually think.
Bowlers more atuned to the conditions
Ability to capitalise on their opportunites
A genuine all-rounder ... for some reason Australia is never able to produce one

Australia were generally pretty lame in this series, but I'm taking nothing away from England.

Australia should burn a bail

This is exactly what i was waiting for. All these swarmy arrogant sons of a bitches poms coming out and saying they are the best at everything now. 1 friggen ashes series win in x amount of years trying.

What completely f wits.

At the Olympics England turn into Great Britain and they still aint no good.

but its not cool to get into the olympics..only when they win. Poms are the biggest bandwagoners ever.

 

[BERT]

The better side won the series. They took it up to us in all aspects of the series. If we didn't have Warne we would have lost 4-1.

We will bounce back though.

Just like how poms (or the person whos started this thread) goes on about the olympics then? pointless really.

england > australia in what sense? one thing they are good at is overstaying their visas when in Oz.


why does england suddenly transform itself into great britain for the olympics anyway (irrelevant question I know).
