Tooj 17 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Great to see the King of Spain himself get a 50 against the aussies, well deserved, and Warne ending with 40 wickets for the series is absolutely amazing. Warne couldn't have done anymore for his team and the way Lee was still giving it everything when the ashes are lost and he's gutted was impressive. We've got them and deservd it, but the aussies have been outstanding in every aspect as well. 31753[/snapback] without a doubt, the thing that's impressed me most about the Aussies apart from the obvious usual World Class performers such as Warne & McGrath, it's the actual attitudes of players', how they've prepared to have some good banter with the crowd and the other players, whereas in the past Steve Waugh looked like he'd be prepared to hit anyone who came anywhere near him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well done to England and the Aussies for providing us with such an enthralling series. As Michael Vaughan said, a roller-coaster summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The last time we will see Warne in a test match in this country. The last time we will see McGrath in a test match in this country. The last time we will hear Benaud commentating on a test match in this country. The last time a test match will be on terrestrial tv in this country for who knows how long (don't like to sound an old fart, but this is quite a sad moment for me after watching tests on tv since the 60's) England win the ashes. All this has combined and I have to admit I have had a tear in my eye as a result. What a day, what a series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
