Well done England! Great series, great win...but the real toppling of
Australia will be when they lose a series at home (they lost to India
in India too in 2001) and that hasn't happened since....not even I know
- probably West Indies in the 80's sometime? Maybe at the end of the
year/early next year? And I'm not talking about the West Indies...

Bearing in mind in 18 months time McGrath, Warne etc may not be still able
to play because of their age or certainly be vulnerable (again) in what is
now a more athletic game and there are question marks over alot of their
players (Gillespie etc),Tait (with that action injury cannot be far away) I
think it will not be as dificult defending the Ashes as overcoming the
pressure of actually winning them especially after going one down in the
series a the beginning.
