Quote of the day. If nothing else we still have the humour. After just one year of holding the Ashes for the first time since the 80's we go and give it straight back following a 5.0 thumping. The closest we got to unsettling the Ozzies (that would be the Australians not the Osbornes) were our 'Barmy Army' who sprang into song at every opportunity (British fans that spend on average $10,000 to fly to Australia, sit in the searing heat and watch grown men wear regimental whites walk around a pitch and hit small red balls with flat bats). Whilst we cant play sport (despite inventing most of the worlds modern games) we can at least have a good old laugh at our incompetence. How refreshingly British! Perhaps now is time to invent another game that is a complete mystery to everyone else in the world - not tell anyone how to play it properly, call it a world series and only let Brits play. But then that would be refreshingly American!
