Hang on a minute Domenic, I'm sure that you've been reading the book of English sporting excuses because we've been using the above one for decades.
Seriously though, the Ashes series last year really captured the imagination of the country as a whole, and the fact taht it was so close (& played in such a competitive, hard, sporting and sporting way) only added to the event. After years of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory, it was nice to ACTUALLY win one.
Cheer up Domenic, at least you still have the Rugby World Cup trophy, oh, hang on a sec, wasn't the Rugby World Cup won by ............
