Ashes regained

From BBC news: The day the Aussies were beaten

Back online after a week on "holiday" (more on that later). Don't want to gloat. But am pleased that the English cricket team has finally cracked Australia. It was, to one who could not see any of the play, a close one. Both sides weren't playing their absolute best the whole time, with Australia sorely in need of McGrath for much of the series. I was particularly impressed that England did not fall to the usual feeling of inadequacy, and rose to the challenge of superior Aussie bowling in the final test.

It's a nice feeling indeed, not to regret what may have been. It all came right in the end.

Onward to winter and India!
