Hmmm.
You know, i got up early to watch that one, was at west ham from memory, and when kewell cut rio ferdinand in half and rounded the keeper to put us 2-0 up against a FULL STRENGTH pommie side i must admit i woke up the neighbours and nearly punched a hole in the roof i jumped that high!
Great memories eh murph...
Seriously though  australia cant win everything every year, jeez the ashes was what nearly 20years straight wasn't it? Or was it 120? Seemed like 120 anyway. Good luck to England they played brilliantly i freely will admit, and your bowlers are very good, without McGrath and Warne our attack looks meek by comparison......although must say it confused me at times, i wasn't sure if we were playing england or south africa, that fella with the dodgy dye job on his hair was through and through saffie and he's playing for england??? yeah and kepler wessles was an aussie too. pretty funny all that switching countries stuff, i think it should be outlawed. |
Hey Domenic
but when we DID win the Ashes (after about 120 years), did you see any of the English Cricket teams celebrations ? I believe that they had been studying the Aussie principle of "celebrating properly" and performed it well.
Some of them were that p*ssed that they couldn't remember seeing Phony Tony Bliar the next day !!
As for the English Football team - pah, we're the worlds permanent under achievers. The press build them up to be world beaters while I think that we could best be describesd as being average. I remember the game that you are talking about - it could hardly be described as a highpoint in English Football could it ? & that's not taking anything away from your lot at all.
By my reckoning you won 3-1, but thanks for making it sound better at 2-0.
