England has won the Ashes, after a courageous Pietersen 158. Absolutely riveting, and the sportsmanship on display is amazing. Brett Lee is still bowling 94+ mph at 5.30. He's clearly a man who hates losing, looking like a man possessed. Yet, he's the first one offering his hand and a smile to Giles at his 50. Warne putting his arm around Pietersen congratulating him on basically winning the series. A few footballers could learn a thing or two from these two outstanding cricket sides.
Australia is still number one in the world rankings, but many of the senior players that have formed the backbone of the success over the last two decades may be about to retire: McGrath, Warne, Hayden, Gillespie, Martyn. Maybe the series loss will be seen as the end of an era?
