 ;D Well done ENGLAND ;D

Retained the ashes (a hard fought England/Australia cricket trophy for those who have only heard of football) for the first time in 24 years on the Aussies home soil ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good result but does anyone know why the coverage was shown early in the evening and then later blocked with a notice for legal reasons they could not show it again?

Not sure about that? I record the whole thing during the night and then watch it the next day or fast watch early morning if I'm working. Never had any blocked off yet ???

Don't know what it was about but one channel could not screen it but we won so that's the positive:-)

Presumably you're talking Sky here Chris?

Yes but I think it was one of the obscure channels like Sky 4 but I do not know how to go back on the guide so I can't look it up :-)

Oh well, test five under way and all is well so far. We only have to draw this match and we win the series, not been done for 24 years! A win would really rub their noses in it ;D

It is good England is recognised for something unique to England and we should be proud (even though I'm a Canadian)  ;D ;D

I repeat my thread title - WELL DONE ENGLAND ;D

25 years since we beat the Aussies at home and NEVER by such a huge margin! The three tests we won were by a whole innings each time which says how brilliantly the whole team played. ;D ;D ;D ;D

There were more records broken in this series than ever before and for one man, Alister Cook, to bat for more than 36 hours during the series, knocking up 766 runs is unheard of!

For a cricket fan, a thrilling series to watch ;D
