England have regained The Ashes! For some inexplicable reason the pitch at The Oval was not its usual flat self. It was dry and dusty, balls breaking through the surface on Day 1 - guaranteeing a result. When we were all out in the first innings for under 350 I thought 'hmm, could be a tight match'. Then when the Aussies were out for 160 in their first innings, that was it, that was when I knew it was on. Yes, some of the umpiring decisions were wrong but I think it evens out over the series.
So now I have to find something else to watch. Oh yes, the one day series starts soon. Poor A is beginning to feel like a cricket widower.
