Martin,
I am sorry to say it, but us Poms want nothing less than another victory. Winning the series is as important as retaining the Ashes. Not since 86 have we managed that in Oz...
Barry,
I would expect nothing less from the Poms - also go a long way in muting speculation of a fixed series. The English side is far superior in batting and bowling as Australia had not recovered with so many greats retiring in a short space of time.
Now with this thrashing hopefully the Aussie Cricket Board may see the light as pointed out to them by Merv Hughes. Merv (sacked by the selection team) constantly complained that is was crazy sending the boys overseas playing ODI matches whilst the UK side was in OZ playing practice Test matches,,,,...HOW DUM IS THAT
Personally, I don't care if the Poms win the ashes this time round - I'm just dissappointed seeing the Aussies play so poorly although it is keeping in line with the whole of 2010.
Started a new job in November - 3 weeks later on the job, crushed both legs and badly breaking one. Whilst in Hospital, my mother fell and injured her leg - ended up in hospital for a day. On return home found the back door broken in half the the house robbed including the nephews Christmas Presents.......
Will be glad to see the back end of 2010 - has not been a good year...
Anyhow, once more I would just like to congratulate the Poms on a much deserved win - you deserve it...
Till next time, hopefully both sides will be more evenly matched - then we can have some fun...
