Oh God! The Ashes!!!

I can only say unbelievable.

I arrived at the very second that Bell was out.

And from then on it was one after the other, more wickets falling than rain on a winters day.

There was a moment, where I figured out it was possible for England to draw if they could deliver a couple of maiden overs. Surely that's what great bowlers are for???? It was depressing. The Oval filled up with Aussies making their way from work to the stadium to see England's humiliation and they were ecstatic - and who can blame them. The English were gutted, loads left before the end of the game, seeing the way it was going.

And the Aussies were on fire and they have this quirk where if they insult you, then they do it making it out that you're their friend; like this:

-> Your team are total bunch of losers, eh mate?!
-> Hey buddy, you're gonna wish you stayed at home!!

Great!

So, there you go. I'd hate for the Ashes to be lost already, I just hope England have the guts to fight on. But the Aussies deserved to win, there's no doubt about it.
