The 5th Ashes Test

[linglong]

Word is that Gregg Chappell will soon be in charge of both the Centre of Excellence and of Selectors. He won't be settling for second best any time soon.

Very well done England - outplayed them, outpsyched them. Great to see after all those years of Aussie gloating - I'm looking at you Glenda "I have to go with 5-0" McGrath.

I also hope that we don't do the open top bus around London this time - although it would be much more deserved than 2005. This is a much, much bigger achievement than that series which was a very close contest and could have gone either way.

Ditto any idea of Sir Andrew Strauss - great captain and player but please keep our foot on the Aussie throats for a decade - then claim let's give them gongs. They'll deserve them.

...and well done the Barmy Army. Said it before - great support a long way from home. Please - somebody post the words and tune for that song they're singing about Mitchell Johnson.

Have to agree with all of your post,that open top bus nonsense was shocking populist nonsense that made my skin crawl,as you say do this time and again then christ i'd be down there waving my flag.

Chappel wont make much of a difference in my eyes if the talent aint there(it doesnt look to be either) then anybody going to have a hard time its going to be hard for them to accept this plummet from grace but as i and others have said talent like we've seen over the last 20 years or so comes along once in a lifetime then it recedes as in the case of the west indies,the aussies as graceless as channel 9 commentators are will have to accept this.

Delighted to see the lads win so convincingly - I'm actually afraid for Australian cricket as that was more like a Zimbabwe cricketing team than the Aussies we know and hate so well.
