Congratulations to Andrew Strauss and his team for regaining the Ashes yesterday evening with a comprehensive 197 run victory at the Oval. Another awesome series where the momentum has swung back and forth between the two sides over the last couple of months. How sweet it is to finally silence the Aussies once again...although Ponting couldn't resist one final dig in his post match interviews! The turning point was definately Andrew Flintoff running out Ricky Ponting when Australia looked set to mount an improbable challenge to Englands massive total. You just can't keep big Fred out of the spot light and England will miss his massive personality and ability to lift the side at crucial points throughout a long test series.
I am guessing that there are going to be a few sore heads amongst the England camp waking up this morning... I am certainly nursing a slight victory hangover!!
Congratulations England. Only 18 months to wait until it starts all over again in Australia. Bring it on...!
