[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][size=14px]Weird how supine the English cricket media is being re Cook & Flower. Obvious both should go, but where's the pressure?[/size][/color]
But why is it that the AUS team and fans are so ungracious winners or losers ???[/i] :-[
[/quote] Cal I think that the reason for their boorish behavior is due to their criminal inheritance

I don't believe that England should make any changes ,
This was the same team that wallop the Aussies during the summer and the reason that they lost was because they showed too much respect for the Aussies bowlers and they did not play their natural game
Home field is a great advantage and the Aussies made full use of it
The way that Lyon was pommeled on the last day is an example of playing a natural game . On the subject of Lyon , I believe that he is an ordinary spinner
I do not think we hate you lot but I appreciate the history may make you more resentful of us and I fully understand that.
That is however history and I find our relationship a vigorous but healthy competition, after all it is just a game!!!!
For Australians and CA this is a monumental feat and lift for your fans and nation and it is so well deserved.
You rolled us over and you did it with great aplomb and equanimity.
I have to say watching all days played of the first four test matches, I could not help but admire what I was witnessing, something I am used to seeing my team do.
I have been fortunate to be able to see Cricket all over but the Johnson's display was some of the best fast bowling I have ever seen. As a spectacle it was great. Interesting how we capitulated but it happens.
Of course it was heartbreaking but one has to appreciate the better cricket.
Well done mate and we will be waiting for you next time around. I do think you will be stronger when we see you next as your top 6 is still quite vulnerable. That said I do not want to dampen your celebrations.
Although I have to say, disappointed with Poms. No offense, but they were absolutely terrible. This is like their all time worst performance surely. At least from memory it is. No fight at all. Stokes was a good find for them, but that's it.
I hope they sort it all out soon and come back more competitively. They're playing WI and NZ before next Ashes right? Well that sounds like a really good time to rebuild.
