It's bad enough if you live in London

I am aware that it is a fundamentally adolescent trait to take sport too seriously, but I was almost in tears yesterday over England's abject performance in the final day of the second Ashes test. I am torn between dismal grief and raging anger. To throw it away from there was a throwback to awful cricket performances of yore, only this time it came after four days of dominance and a year or so of misplaced optimism. I should have known as soon as Ashley chuffing Giles' selection was announced. Defensive, backward-looking and obvious to everybody except Duncan Fletcher. Gah. GAH! GAAAH!

On the positive side....no, there is no positive side.

"It's bad enough if you live in London", it must be even worse to live in Sydney (or anywhere else in Australia, for that matter) and have people crowing about the Ashes to you all day (and all week). My sympathies!
