Well its been 16 years, but finally the Ashes are coming home. And its been well deserved. And one of the best series i have ever seen

I think it's safe to say that now. Hooray.......! Well done chaps.

I'm sorry to say that I haven't seen a single ball bowled in the whole series. I've never been superstitious but if I'd been watching it's more than likely we would have lost.

well why not watch the last few overs then
cant loose now:)

Well, it's hardly worth it now.

the first time in 16 years the English have been presented with that little trophy, isn't that worth watching?
Its a rare thing for us to win anything internationally, fan of sport or not its a sight to see.

The fact that the lads won is good enough for me. Wish I'd watched the whole series but it's too late now. I always used to follow the cricket. That was before the TV in my study blew up. Don't watch much TV at all now.

PS. Didn't I read somewhere that the Ashes are going to Oz for a while anyway? They usually stay locked in the trophy cabinet at Lords.

::) There. See what I mean? I turn on the TV set to watch the last few overs & what happens? They come off for bad light that's what.

It's all your fault Craig. Nothing to do with me.

Hi Doug, its basically to stop the players getting hurt, we all know they could have gone on, but the stupid rules cant allow a match to be called off in this situation. They will get their trophey soon, patience:)

Thought it was 18 years

Time to bump my other thread !  :D

even better then:)

And I still didn't see a single ball bowled.

well look at it this way, you got all the excitement of the ceremony without the boredom of the game

I'm keeping out of this...

If I was shown the cup, I would probably take the lid off to see what was inside....
...and a gust of wind would blow all the ashes away... ... ... ...!

LOL...!

Paul...Who's cremated remains are they, anyway...?
LOL...!

I don't know nuffin' about Cricket... ...!

Nah, I switched off before then. Can't be doing with all that nonsense.  Maybe they'll release the whole thing on DVD. I can watch it on those dark winter afternoons to cheer myself up.

I s'pose that's it then. Winter drawers on. Roll on the cricket season.

What in th'wide, wide world o'sports are you fellers talkin' about?
Ashes?
