Even though our words were in jest, they proved prophetic. Not really, but we like to quote ourselves and show off our linking skills.
England was setting up Australia. Well, that's what you get for messing with cunning old England. How do you think they conquered the world? As a matter of fact, they conquered the world with the cunning use of flags (in case you thought that was very witty, we want to assure you that it is not our joke, we have very low standards and we strive to maintain them. Eddie Izzard is a stand-up comedian we really like. If you haven't heard of him, please take some time to check out some videos on YouTube, we will wait here for you to come back)
John Buchanan (Australia's coach)-really, if you don't know that he is Australia's coach, you have no business reading cricket blogs-whined about not getting enough competition from England and NZ to keep his wards sharp. He begged for better play from them. He wanted them to put up a fight so that his "boys" could hone their edge. On an aside, we think it's creepy for grown up men to call other grown up men "boys".
Yo John, you wanted a challenge and you got one. Only, your "boys" forgot to show up. Also, now that your boys faced some competition, are their edges "honed"?
Monkey boy (Ponting) was "angry and disappointed". However, we are giddy with happiness. Our day would be complete if Haydos comes up with some pearls of wisdom which we can then try and make sense for the unwashed masses.
Should this make England a contender for the World Cup? We think so, because they beat Australia thrice-back to back to back-and that is no mean feat.
