Looks like the balance was restored in the final Test, even our weather let us down.
A face-saving win for the Aussies, just came too late to save The Ashes. Probably one of the most riveting Test Series for a while, result notwithstanding. Dave.

Agreed; utterly absorbing from beginning to end; more ups and downs than a roller-coaster
With the possible exception of the 1981 Ashes (when Ian Botham changed from being a broken man as captain in the first 2 Tests to near-Superman for the rest of the series) it surpasses any sporting event I've ever witnessed. Can England retain the Ashes down under? Who knows? Certainly not the so-called experts who consistently got it wrong this time David P.S. When I saw an earlier post from Lara I initially thought of Brian Lara - easy mistake to make

Greatest player of all time?
Sir Clive Lloyd, West Indies and Lancashire's most outstanding Captain and M/O Batsman ever. Dave.

As well as the terrible loss of life, there were so many brave sportsmen who gave up their careers to join the War effort. Of course, there were 6 years of War in Europe.
There were still football and cricket matches played during the War, with professional players turning out for Clubs near where they were Stationed at times, or short term loans being common to keep everything ticking over. Anything to boost morale and keep the masses happy. Manchester City took a German Paratrooper POW, Bert Trautmann, as their Goalkeeper after the War and caused controversy. He quickly became one of our greatest Legends. Dave.
