The ugly Australians
Winning the Ashes, for Australian cricket fans, is tonic for recent humiliation, at home and abroad. Fists have pumped. Smiles have fractured scowls. Mates have reasons to drink beer instead of drinking to find reasons.
But three-nil, for all that grandeur,
the carport built on cricket
doesn’t unite the nation as most cricket fans would expect. It wasn’t as though 21-million people screamed in unison when the Ashes were won.
Unplayable magnificence
Thankfully no one told Stuart Broad to get ready for a broken fucking foot. That would’ve been a costly sledge. Thankfully Mitchell Johnson’s yorker, that most magnificent of deliveries, didn’t break Broad’s foot.
Thankfully someone finally bowled a yorker.
Big Bird - the best
