Bring back hanging
Coppers drinking in the day time. I bet he went out and beat up some poor kid later.
Fifth test thread
- Thread starter energy
- Start date
Hope I didn't appear on the telly yesterday, I'm bunking work!
Nothing much to say, just that it was the most fantastic day I've ever had watching any sport anywhere. Sorry to sound like an idiot but I've waited all my cricket watching life for this day and when I left the Oval I was struggling to hold back tears.
I don't give a shit about any world cups in any sport compared to this, this is the ultimate.
What a team, what a captain, what a summer. Fan-fucking-tastic.
The party in the streets around the Oval was huge as well, as we walked out of the ground we were showered with beer and champagne from people stood on their balconies and in windows overlooking the ground. Every passing car was honking its horn, bus passengers grinning like loons on their way past and an awful lot of very drunk, very happy people spilling all over the roads around Kennington.
Fuck me I'm happy. Yes!
Edit: writing that almost made me cry again

I tried to blag it in one more time but they rumbled me and confiscated my ticket but fuck it what a beautiful day 
ICB said:Well done the Aussies for their excellent spirit.
Particularly Brett Lee for getting faster and faster and angrier and angrier when it became clear it was all over, bless
And to Warney, for being one of the true giants of the game
I thought it was great that when offered the light they asked England what they should do to make the moment as good as possible.
And their congratulations of KP and AG were genuine, it appeared.

Tis a great feeling to end the summer on a win. I actually feel a remarkable and noticiable absence of the usual gumbling gloom that normally follows the ritual ashes drubbing!
In the long term - prospects don't look good for Australia. Warne and McGrath aren't going to be a feature in the next ashes, perhaps neither will Ponting, Hayden and Langer. Who do they have left? Build a team around Tait and Clarke?

the banter continues...
was good to see us winning it - thank the lord my boss took us all down the pub to watch the last couple of hours. we had lots of good banter with the aussies in our work, but the best one-liner came from one of them (unfortunately):
at 5.00pm, girl from accounts:
"it seems a bit mean though, making australia play on when they know they've got no chance of winning"
aussie: "england have had to play like that for 18 years, we can handle it for half hour or so"
