Oh how the wheel has turned. For the last 20 years that's been us getting smacked about and collapsing with the bat. Now it's them- no longer the arrogant, loutish, bad winners. Take some time at the back of the line and get used to it Australia and try and find some fans to come and watch you.

I've been working. And drinking. The festive season is a busy time down here...no snow to slow everything down you see.

The Ashes were a bit a disappointment though. Have to admit that I'm not a very 'traditional' cricket fan in that I much prefer one day and twenty20 games to test matches. So the rest of the sporting summer will be for that.

And I didn't even get tickets to the Sydney match. I think my brother still wants to go though...

You really have no idea, mate.

Within two or three years it'll be back to normal - Aussies lashing Engerland out of it and those most famous (and heavily repeated) words in sport will be back;

"Engerlish batting collapse."

Superb performance by the England team, great to see Bell contest the umpires decision and to get it over turned, really gives the Aussies something to whinge about

Overall though a fair and just result, albeit a long time coming

I cant remember us winning a series and all of the wins being innings victories!!! .

What a humiliation for the Aussies
