    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=739">Clobber</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 4944<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 03 October 2009 at 1:20am<br /><br />Right then, I had been waiting for JP to make the last post since hestarted the thread, but he's too busy so I will take the honour instead.<br><br>For me, it was a fairly unmemorable series, with no battingperformances that I would hail as classic and relatively few trulygripping passages. The personal highlight - inevitably I suppose sinceI have been banging the drum about the guy since 2005 - was Stuart Broad'sAshes winning spell at the Oval, which was particularly sweet in the face of allthe doubts being written about him here and elsewhere.<br><br>Anyway, anyone reading this thread from the start without knowing theresult must assume Australia won 5-0 because clearly, reading the postsfrom some of our most knowledgeable and in no way one-eyed members,England were a bunch of no good bums, led by a skipper who couldn'tperform under pressure, feeble in the face of cricketing gods such asPhil "The New Bradman Until Dropped After 2 Games" Hughes, Mitchell "Worst Cricketer Of The YearEver" Johnson, Nathan "Can't Get Picked On A Raging Tuner" Hauritz, andBrett "Can't Get Picked At All" Lee, so let's just remind ourselves ofthe result -<br><br><font color="#cc0000" size="6"><b>England 2 Australia 1<br></b></font><br>Whoa, hang on, how did that happen, England had that no-good Bopara in their team??? Surely Peter " Emerging Leaking Fewer Runs Than Mitchell Johnson Cricketer of the Year" Siddle could have bowled them out all the time, England's best batsman didn't even bother playing most of the series for god's sake!<br><br>Nope. I just checked and apparently that actually was the score, so congratulations to Ricky "Lost More Ashes Series Than Most" Ponting for writing his name in the history books. Gary Pratt says hi.<br>]]>

Probably Paki origin SW, but he was born in Denmark and played a bit of cricket for them. Denmark is the side that Belinda Clark scored the first and only double ton in an ODI against. (If you count women's cricket in anything).]]>

However if you look at the numbers in England who viewed their Oval win as opposed to their draw in 2005 there's a massive difference. Pay/Cable TV is not a good thing at all, the Ashes in Australia was on free TV and that was an overseas series.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=229">Sledger</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 4944<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 22 September 2009 at 1:35pm<br /><br />I feel strangely flat about the whole affair and that's not happened to me in any Ashes series before (and I include 2006/7 in that!).&nbsp; Yes , I was pleased that England won , but they didn't convince me that they're ready to take on the world and the Aussies lost their way at crucial moments.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The highlights have to be the arrival of Onions and the improvement in Broad. Swann brought smiles too and must be filling Panesar's nightmares. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That we won with KP missing for more than half the series should suggest a corner has been turned , but still I have doubts.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The SA tour will answer a lot of questions , is Cook the partner for Strauss , or will Denly take over ? Will an attack without Flintoff be able to knock over such a strong batting line up and will Bopara find his mojo ?<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They have a settled side , capable of beating any side in the world and the English ? I just don't know.<br>]]>

Exciting contest between 2 reasonably good sides. Not as exciting as 2005, but not as dull as 2006/07 and I think both sides can take a lot out of their performances during the tour. <br>Well done to England on a wonderful Ashes triumph and to Australia for showing some good ODI form.<br>Sad to see Freddy go but the real find of the tour, Stuart Broad will keep the English fans excited and hopefully keep the Ashes flame alight. <br>]]>

I certainly don't think a lot of people will forget that after England won the Ashes they got mauled in the ODIs and lost 6 in a row.]]>

Will be remembered? I don't know and don't care,it's individual's opinion.What I know for sure is that it will be in history books that England lost the series 6-1 while England won the Ashes 2-1.For sure 2-1 Ashes victory is sweet,but 4-3 ODI scoreline would have been much sweeter.Even Strauss told "There is a limit to Ashes goodwill".<br /><br />I am sure no player in this world would like to lose even a single match.Saying we won what mattered is bit like  running away from reality,that everyone does.Many Indians and Pakistanis say like no matter we win the cup or not,we need to beat the other.I have said it sometime, but deep down  when India lost final against Australia in WC'03,I felt bad,victory over Pakistan in group stage did not really matter.]]>

Still they'll be the second weakest side in the CT after the WI. NZL showed good signs yesterday against IND so I believe they might have found their rhythm.&nbsp;]]>
