I’m Aussie. And I’m a cricket fan. So yes, right now I’m pretty happy with our boys!
How long that happiness will last though, now that the team are winners, is a point of great doubt.
For me, the joy of the emphatic 5-0 success in the Ashes series comes mostly from knowing how low the team has been within the last twelve months. I became a more-than-casual cricket fan somewhere between the Aussie team being on the other end of an Indian Test series whitewash less than a year ago, and failing to regain the Ashes in July/August with England’s 3-0 victory on home soil.
