The Ashes, baby!
It's testament to the game that we entered the final day with both sides having a good chance of winning.

I don't hate Ponting at all. In fact I rather like him. He's made some errors, yes, but that just makes him human. He's a decent man in my eyes. and a sound captain as i fear we will discover in the remaining matches. The Aussies will bounce back for sure. Unless someone carefully manages the reaction to this victory, I can see England having to get thumped in the next test to bring them back to earth. Let's see what Strauss is made of here.

I wouldn't consider dropping Pietersen for a second. He's put in some very ordinary shifts so far, but this just convinces me that he owes us some heroics.

Credit to Australia too. They turned a hopeless position on Sunday morning into a genuine contest, and without one or two dubious umpiring decisions, we could well have been crying into our beer tonight. As it is, let's enjoy this sweet taste of success, as I fear it won't last forever.
