Can anyone else see the Aussies claiming we only got 19 wickets in this one should they win in Sydney.

Almost there

Well, that took a bit longer than expected, good to see Bresnan finish them off.

Congrats England. Ashes retained. Sweet.

I don't like the way the players are talking after that test. Saying the Ashes have been 'won' when in fact they haven't yet. 2-2 in the series would be a poor, poor outcome given the dominance they have enjoyed for large parts of the series.

I really hope they don't waste the opportunity to make it 3-1 and a comprehensive series win. 2-2 wouldn't be a fair reflection of things.

Agreed, but first things first ... celebrations.

The Ashes have been won. The series hasn't. England won't take their eye off the ball.

Not a bad 2010 for us against the Aussies, beat them in the T20 final, beat them in the ODI series at home, now retaining the Ashes before the turn of the year.

The kids will never believe that they used to beat us all the time.

Marvellous stuff. I could get used to this.
