The Ashes

Well here i am at the SCG Stadium in Sydney Australia for the Ashes!, I was looking forward to this day ever since i realised i had tickets for this great sporting event!! At this point we were trailing 4-0 down (as you were already aware of in my previous comments!) what happened to England i hear you say? I got to hand it to the Australians though they showed real fight and a bulldog spirit that you would normally expect from an England side in the days of old, (we have gone soft as a sporting nation methinks!) i was speaking to an elderly gentlemen (in he's 80's im kidding you not) from our great nation who saved long and hard to tour Australia for the Ashes, he was really disappointed with the way England played, he told me in his day they used to appoint a captain who could not bat, bowl or field mainly, but could lead! "a leader is a winner" he said "no matter what"! never the less i had a great time watching the cricket and to be there to witness Shane Warne and Glenn Magrath finally end their cricket careers, they were true legends of the game though even if their were Australians!!!!, One highlight of the trip was to stay at the Hilton hotel, just check out the size of the bath, it was good times for sure here as i had my brothers out there as well enjoying the true magic of Sydney! Great times for sure chaps!!!
