Well, in the end we won The Ashes 5th Test fair and square. The teams were well matched and, frankly, the Aussies played better than us for much of the series. However, there can be only one winner and, when Fearless Freddie threw down Ponting's stumps to run him out, the writing was on the wall.
Cheerio, Freddie, you've been awesome - we will miss you and those boots will be hard to fill. Respect to the green-baggy-capped blokes from Down Under, but even bigger respect to Strauss, Broad, Swann, Trott (where was he hiding?) and the rest of the England team.
