  Fantastic
  
  Victory in the latest test by an innings and 157 runs ensures that England retain the Ashes no matter what the result of the final test
  
  Well done to Strauss and his team a fantastic achievement to so convincingly tonk the Aussies

  Congratulations indeed Ross. By the timing of your posting, I take it you stayed up to watch it ?
  
  Retaining is great, but wouldn't it be superb if we can win them in Sydney ?

  I did Roger - excellent stuff
  
  As you say now all we need to do is play like we have in 3 of the first 4 tests in Sydney

  Nice to have some good news for a change, come on the Sydney game and let's rub it in.

  I went to the Sydney Cricket Ground many years ago to watch England play Australia; it was the last game in the series and I think Oz had already won, but well worth the visit - very atmospheric.
