The return of the Urn. Welcome home


At last, the urn has returned! Brought back home by a fantastic Australian cricket team, lead by an outstanding captain. While the Australian press has lauded these men, and rightly so, the English press are not only criticising their own team, but still rubbishing the Aussies. One article I read claimed England were beaten by a second rate outfit of misfits. WTF! They still can't quite believe that their “unbeatable” team has been beaten.
However, one person who had a lot to say previously has now gone very quiet. Ian Botham, who right up till mid way through the Brisbane test, was still predicting a 5-0 white wash. Well he may be right, just got the team wrong. So, even if you were one of the best players ever, it doesn't make you a fortune teller, not even a smart predictor. Surely it's better to be just a little bit cautious before making outlandish statements. Then again, maybe he likes eggs!!
