The Ashes

The Hindu : Sport : Something special is happening in England:

"Australia could still win at Trent Bridge and romp to a 3-1 victory. So far, though, so very good. Beyond dispute this Ashes confrontation has been wonderful as a ferocious and desperate challenger suffers an early fall, rises to his feet, shrugs off the blow and in this moment of revelation, launches the sort of counterattack needed to convince observers that, far from being over, the fight has just begun."

This article and tribute is fromThe Hindu and is a lovely , enthusiastic piece about the English cricketers. It is good to see the English get back into their match. It has been great to have two good teams pitted against each other. This article demonstrates the joy you can have when your team just never ceases to amaze you. We have been lucky, we have had great cricket players and great teams to watch for a long time. They guys get tired and worn out because they run hard and it is not easy being a hero in Australia. We often damn with faint praise here and it's a bit harsh when guys get out there year in year out and bring us some fantastic sport and an inspirational attitude. So it's good to see someone bolster the English team , because wehn you have two good teams playing it's just heaven as a spectator. Like the last Crows and Port match. The Crows won but he whole match was a great match to watch and these things add to you as a human being. We should never take our sports people for granted. They make us well and take us out of it all and give us enthusiasm for life.
