Thanx Arkayn
I dont follow many sports obviously, I do watch Baseball occasionly,I gave up on Hockey( Damn Maple Losers). I think a lot of the Leagues are too big, with too many teams and players to keep track of, unless a lot more time is spent watching them, I just cant fit that many games into my day.

Or, translating the thread title to english, 'england wins the ashes'.
The OP must have copied the title from the graun. Perhaps one day it'll get a spelling/grammar checker. :)
Cheers,

PeterV

Ah well, that's English newspapers for you, the thread title being from a 'Daily Mail' headline. More concerned about about eye-catching headlines than attending to 'proper' Queen's English ;)

This is from the BBC, with hopefully acceptable use of English:

Swann's wicket seals a 2-1 series victory for England and it sparks wild celebrations for the bowler and his captain Andrew Strauss

Well what do you know, even the women beat Australia this summer.



Charlotte Edwards led the England team as they retained the women's Ashes at Worcester.

Winners learn from the past but often revert to the losers they were in the past.

I'm winning. 80 billion cricket bails ready to burn for ash.
