Oh, good - more cricket.

Great to see that Australia already has this one wrapped up: http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/804877.html

As I suspected; butter-fingers Hadden's drop of Joe Root in the first test, day one, has ultimately cost us the Ashes.
Not that we deserved to retain them after the 4th test.

Hope the WAGS enjoy their final Ashes tour....
