(10,827 posts)There's no "England" group, so this'll be close enough tho. From being thrashed around by the Aussies to bowling them out for 60? A totally astonishing turn of events is what I say. Let's hope Stuart Broad has breathed life back into the ashes of England's cricket team.

According to sources, your English colleague will think its hilarious when he asks you whether you watched the cricket last night.
Theres every chance hell email around a link that hell claim is work-related, but which will actually turn out to be Ashes highlights. Or possibly just the number 60, said one analyst.
At some point hell break into Jerusalem. It wont be heart-stirring, he added.
And there's nothing you can say in reply. Not one single, solitary, redeeming feature about the Aussie game.
