Anyone else see the cricket? Good result for England, and it was a superb game. Cricket is about the only competitive sport I can bear to watch. It just seems to have a lot less cheating, whinging etc than the likes of football. Australia were very graceful losers I thought.

I saw a bit of it on Channel 4 after things had already been decided but England kept on batting. It's been the main topic of conversation all day at work. Nice to see England win at cricket for a change.
I still find it hard to believe Australia lost and we won... First the rugby world cup, then the Ashes. Maybe we'll actually win the football world cup next time around. :)

The Australian players were definitely gracious in defeat. Sad to say, a lot of Australian people I know were not the same. Here is one typical comment from another forum page.
"Enjoy the next 14 or so months-because you'll only have 'em (the ashes) for that long !
3 bloody runs at Edgbaston was the difference in the end
You only won when McGrath was injured -and even with our depleted attack ,dodgy umpiring in your favour and us playing at about half our ability-you still only just fell over the line with the help of a SOUTH AFRICAN (and Gilchrist & Warne's dropped catches !)
Number one in the world -my arse!"‘In real life people do not spend every minute shooting each other, hanging themselves or making declarations of love. They don’t spend every minute saying clever things. Rather they eat, drink, flirt, talk nonsense."
