You just had a ruthlessly severe assessment of the English cricket team and had no time for excuses.<br /><br />Chibi J., it looks like England are going to returning home victorious, thus far they have undoubtedly been the better team!<br /><br />JJ, I definitely encourage you to try to learn more about cricket. I'm not sure if any sport has as long traditions as cricket - although your baseball might come close. Melbourne had its first cricket club within two years of its founding as a city and the Ashes have been fought over by Australia and England since 1882 - when Australia was still just six colonies of the British Empire.<br /><br />Nick, thanks for leaving a comment. I hope my post has enlightened you a little as to the state of play!Tom Hakkinenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320029007805632871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551487014503653423.post-66758099453321877972010-12-11T19:19:23.254+00:002010-12-11T19:19:23.254+00:00Thanks for the update.
