England do a Phoenix...

England has won the urn again. Not the most comprehensive of series wins as they had to dig deep to survive the first test which Aussies should have won. It sounds like a closely fought series, considering the scoreline is narrow. But this in no way compares to the 2005 edition which is still the best test series I have ever watched. For the simple reason that the Aussie team then was more stronger and that meant England had to play above their abilities to win. And fortunes swung more often in favour of either sides in 2005. Aussies got a raw deal with umpiring in the last test this ashes but hardly anyone would complain. It's so amazing to see so many people like them lose.
I am tempted to say that comparing 2009 ashes with 2005 would be comparing Fedex vs Roddick this year and Fedex vs Nadal last year at wimbledon. But I won't do that as Fedex vs Roddick this year was surely more exciting than the ashes that followed !!
