			Well England have, finally, won the Ashes, but gods, what a palaver!   
In a way it's a shame Pietersen wasn't out earlier, I'd have loved to have seen the Aussies flinging the bat around trying to get a victory, that would have made this an incredible ending instead of a bit of a farce.
 
Still, congratulations to both teams for a hell of a series, although I still think that the Aussies played better, but well done England too

			Well done both teams - what a series they have given us   
Whatever the outcome I think Cricket & the spectators were the overall winners )

 Even the great Shane Warne admitted England were the better side overall, which i think they were aswell!    
 
A great series and a fantastic result for English Cricket!

			so we won some charcoal. 
 
All it means is that for the next 30 to 40 years the team will go backwards and we will be back to square one. 
 
England may have been the better team this series, but Australia will outclass us and play us of the pitch next chance they get. 
 
Still congrats to the team, you played well.
