And I cannot go to bed as the last wicket is still to fall.

I know that Americans, Canadians and many Europeans are unable to fathom why we care so much about the Ashes. It's akin to a war, mixed with the Olympics, mixed with the bedrock or national pride.

I will say that the Australian team can hold their heads high at the way they have doggedly fought through this innings. Now if they could just lose so I can go to sleep!

ETA: THEY DID IT! THEY DID IT! WHO NEEDS SLEEP? Bless you Flintoff, you are a gem.

I was convinced you were Australian, but no real Australian would jump from joy when their beloved country lost the Ashes, so now I'm confused.

(and your fantasy Estonian citizenship does not help :)

English lass with Australian mother who popped over for a visit to mater and to check out the marsupials, met a strapping Aussie lad and found herself coping with 40-degree summers ;-)

I am definitely an Australian, and am seriously happy that England won the ashes. :D
