i do hate the bandwagon that rolls up behind anything to do with Team England, especially when everyone suddenly becomes cricket fans.
Who are the mob in Trafalgar square right now, where did they come from???
I really don't like the footballisation of cricket (I loved the end yesterday, typical test cricket!!)
But this series has been very, very special. For once the event has matched the hype and then some.
Cricket is such a great game, especially when it has been so tight and the teams so well matched.
It's honest, decent and fair.
I read in a paper a while ago that the nation's identity is football, with all the bad references that has but really we want it to be cricket.
It all means so much to me, the aussies are such a great side and this is an awesome achievement. I can't wait for Pakistan and then next chrimbo the ashes again!!!
