Yeah, well, it's probably a good thing that we lost the cricket: there is such a thing as being too used to winning. The younger members of the team, as cricket commentator Mark Taylor pointed out, have never been in a losing side. Now they have. It can only give them a better sense of purpose, of pride, and of determination.
Let's face it: it stings to lose. It stings even more when it has been 18 years since the Ashes were last in English hands. It stings the worst when you remember the arrogant predictions of a five - nil whitewash McGrath proclaimed before the Aussies left Australia. *sigh*
It hurts to lose the Ashes, but the English deserve to gloat. They had the consistency, the skills... and why the hell am I being polite about this for. We fucking lost!!! To those mongrel, whinging, smug Poms!
Sure we were wrong in thinking it would be easy, but, MY GOD, to lose those matches in such a way. When those idiots arrive back in Australia, no doubt there will be recriminations along with the 'there-there, you did your best'. To hell with that!
Okay... I'm over it now. Mostly... Some... gotta suck it up...
I'll just concentrate on the footy and not think about cricket for a while...
