| Awesome post thirty7 and well in keeping with this fantastic series.
It's an unusual thing when you win against your great rival in sport and yet the day includes things like the English crowd singing "we wish you were English" at Warney and showing genuine fondness for Bret Lee (he's been quite taken to by England supporters).
I actually got into cricket in the 1993 Ashes series, the one in which Warney (my own personal favourite cricketer ever) came to prominence. It's strange that I got into a sport in which our rivals were so dominant but Cricket is just that kind of sport....it's really completely different to football in that you can go watch your team and you desperately want to win but you also want to see the very best of the opposition too.
As for the Australian team, I don't expect players retiring or being dropped all over the place. These players have been so good for so long that I would have thought their selectors would want those players to have the return crack at us, albeit with maybe a tweak or two to the side, nothing drastic. I won't be patronising about what the Aussies need to do since you guys will know better than me.
I just can't wait for the DVD to come out now!! |
