England wins the Ashes

Pietersen reaches his centurypietersen.jpg on the way to a total of 158, as England draw the Fifth Test and thereby win the Ashes for the first time since 1987! According to reports, England has gone cricket crazy; one writer compared it with the Red Sox winning the World Series last year. (I’m not going to risk commenting on that!) Anyway, congratulations to both teams. (I wonder if the BBC will release a “highlights” DVD that will play on Region 1 players.)
