Maybe the Aussies could win a macrame competition or win the Chelsea Flower Show.

We'll play for pride if nothing else. A win by the Aussies would see the series end up at 3-2 which is a lot better than 4-1. A bit better, anyway.

Bad enough that Trent Bridge and the English Cricket Board will have to pay back three days worth - even though they did play a bit today it wasn't for long enough so the punters will get a refund. Wait, maybe that's the Aussie tactic - come over here, lose quickly, and bankrupt the cricket grounds that were relying on the catering money. _________________________ The Hubble Telescope has just picked up a sound from a fraction of a second before the Big Bang.

If I recall, last year's Ashes series was in Australia, correct? The Ashes are held every two years - the timing isn't precise because the schedule takes account of other cricket events plus things like the Olympics. But the Series do alternate between England and Australia so the next lot of Ashes Tests will be downunder. Are you turning into a cricket fan, Dave?
