Official 3rd 3 Test - Perth

Wonder what sort of reception will the Poms get when they go home

Probably Knighthoods, for services to cricket...

I was thinking of a ticket tape, open bus parade thru the streets of london!

This will sound dreadfully cliche, but I am so very proud to be Australian today. How lucky have we been to witness this wonderful group of cricketers over the years? If I could be anywhere in the world in next couple of weeks, I would love to be at the MCG the moment Warnie snares his 700th wicket. It will be awesome.

My Sentiments Exactly.................You Bloody Beauty!!!

This from an English mate:

"As I said when the bunch of clowns went over 5 - 0 - no one believed me, bet your all wishing you could get the odds I did for 5-0 now don't you !

We are officially not very good, I may live to see us win them back one day, but I don't think I'll be this side of 60 !

Why do we as a national (government) award mediocracy so much - We win the Rugby World Cup once - they ALL get MBE's

We win the Ashes for the 1st time in 18 yeras - they all get MBE's -

I think I'm right in saying that Aussies being part of the Commonwealth are entiltled to MBE's OBE's and CBE's, well if so why haven't a team that have thrashed the world for 18 YEARS NOT 18 WEEKS been honoured with such awards - it stinks, they are not worth the paper they are written on - Sir Steve Redgrave - great, a guy who has been at the top of his sport for 16 years - worth every bit of it, and then you hear that Beckham may be Knighted - for what ? Services to being sent off against Argentina ? Services to only having one foot ? Services to the English language ? Services to Gucci and Prada or Servicing his dum ass wife ?

Until our government realises that competetive sport is not bad for you as life is competetive we will never improve. Whilst schools are rewarded on the number of A's B's & C's their students achieve they will always the PE and & Games timetables down to a minimum in order to achieve the results. God I wish my Great Great Grandad had stolen some bread !"

That was a great read Matt and so damn true! Even Collingwood got an OBE or MBE or something and he only played the 5th test! I cant remember any ticketape parades when we won the ashes either and open buses through the cities.

Ticker tape parades in 89 and 93 IIR.

Moral of the Story is always be humble in victory as in defeat..............
