It doesn't matter... We won the ashes!

So we are routinely getting our preverbials smashed in the one day series, but it doesn't really matter considering we won the Ashes and thats what really counts. Maybe if the Aussies had played Cameron White in the test series rather than Mike "leave the straight ball" Hussey then they may have gained a couple more draws.

I've never been a fan of One Day Cricket and quite clearly neither are the best players in this country. Everytime there is a one day series, we see these second rate county players come on the scene for two or three games before going back to Sussex or Somertset for the rest of the careers. Not even the third highest wicket taker in one day domestic Cricket, James Kirtley gets a look in.

As for the kind of made-up shots that Eoin Morgan plays, I am not a fan of that either. Playing the ball over your head like some extension to a broom handle is just not cricket. Jacques 'Cover Drive' Kallis wouldn't do it and nor we Sir Vivian. Play the game properly son!

Eight one day games is too much. Its helping the nation to forget that we won the ashes and that should be the real celebration. The baby faced Broad is becoming a celeb now and with appearances on Jonathan Ross he is becoming the new KP. Expect to see him modeling cheap Burton suits this winter.

It will be interesting to see how we fair in South Africa this winter. I think we will get a pasting somehow. I can't see England getting motivated for it and an Ashes and Freddy hangover will be likely on the cards...
