Sorry to bore those not interested in cricket but it is a historical moment. Think about 1989 for a moment. Mobile phones were only in Hollywood movies being used by the drug lords. Laptop computers were but a dream and Internet was something only hard core algarithm munching geeks delved into. But this is the last time England and the Barmy Army were able to lay claim to the Ashes. Allan Border and his men stole it from their shores and have held onto it till now. But an aging Australian side which has had little changes in those 15 years has seen the little urn lost to the dreaded enemy. Mind you the English fought hard to win it. Those Aussies were not going to simply hand it over.
So I'm just going to have a quiet drink... reflect on those 15 years and savour the victorious past the Aussies have given us. It shan't be long till we reclaim what was started by the Aussies in the very beginning!
