After the shambles of the World Cup in South Africa, this is a real tonic to give the Aussies a bit of their own medicine. A lovely bonus, is the Barmy Army, giving it to them with both barrels.

Well done, the Lads!

I've been following the Test matches through the night when I can't sleep, it's been very exciting and I reckon this is the best England side we have had in years ..... about time too!

About 24 years if Sky News are correct that is the last time we won a 'Test match' series on their own soil

I think a couple of Aussie people registered on here recently, it would be interesting to hear from them. All the Aussies that Sky interviewed said that the Brits were most impressive as a team it was not a one or two man effort as has sometimes been the case in the past.

But don't get complacent boys 'cos as someone who has lived and worked in Ausralia I can tell you they will be back and hungry for revenge just as soon as possible

How true is that.
Mind you, their song for poor Mitchell Johnson was a little unkind don't you think? Tee hee
