How's that?

The Ashes are over.
It has been fantastic. I started to watch this England team when Vaughn took over as captain and there has been meteoric rise in the fortunes of the team.
I was delighted we had won but almost sad that it was all over. Richie Benaud said goodbye to English cricket fans and the team celebrated their victory.
I don’t think you can go beyond this Ashes series. I just don’t see their ever being a greater series.
It’s annoying that channel 4 have lost rights to show it aswell. I had enjoyed the commentary team put together and you wonder where these guys will go next…except Atherton who is going to sky. I hope sky does cricket justice…this England cricket team justice.
My fear is that because football is such a big commercial entity, which brings in shit loads of money for everyone involved, now that sky control both these sports, will they just smother cricket and plug football further?
It would be a shame because this Ashes series has inspired young kids to play the game.
I can’t find anything inspirational with football at the minute. Every news story relates to money. Every manager moans. Every petulant player scowls instead of showing their love for the game.
But I ask myself one question…what would be even bigger than England winning the Ashes?
England winning the world cup in Germany of course. So football can always claim something bigger.
Are England going to win next year. Nope. It will be another gutting exit and we will all leave feeling sad.
Oh well.
