Well as I say, can we make it 5 in a row in the test series against the POMS.
Boxing Day tests is about even after day 2.
What a great result it would be to take it out 5 nil.
But at the end of the day as long as it is a great game in 4 and 5, who cares, as we have the Ashes in our keeping.
But 5 would be nice.

Ibbo, I think its you that needs the reality check. In the 130 years since 1883, Australia have held the Ashes for approximately 76.5 years, and England for 53.5 years. Australians have made 264 centuries in Ashes Tests, of which 23 have been scores over 200, while Englishmen have scored 212 centuries, of which 10 have been over 200. Australians have taken 10 wickets in a match on 41 occasions, Englishmen 38 times.
The Ashes have returned to their natural home and the balance of the universe has been restored

We won the ashes at the second bite at the cherry. We lost it to England and now a few months later saying we won it. Like having 2 soccer or rugby World Cups not every 3 years but every few months to give the loses a 2nd chance..

England at 5/60 chasing 326, 5 nil is looking pretty certain now, where are those in denial now???
