Can you hear that sound? In the distance? It's still some way off, but it's coming closer.

That's the sound of the Ashes coming home.

Series post mortem-

Man of the series- Shane Warne, followed by Freddie Flintoff.

The big question- What will Australia do when Warne and McGrath retire?

The big jokes- Jones's wicket-keeping, Pieterson's fielding and Gillespie's bowling.

Biggest lump in the throat?

1st place- Richie "God" Benaud's lovely little goodbye speech, thanking us all for letting him into our lives for the last 42 years.

2nd place- Hayden getting hit in the bollocks on Saturday (biggest cheer of the day).

The curling? We can take it

I thought the top order Aussie batting was a bit of a joke in general. Havent they ever faced reverse-swing?

Don't forget Bell's continuing to underperform, and the selectors' continuing to pick him.

Modern sport began in 1744. In that year, a new approach was introduced, heralding the first sport with an official set of rules, a governing body and freedom from class and race barriers. Every modern sport owes a debt to what happened in that momentous years, and it paved the way for every modern sport that followed.

In fact, it's even said by some that the sport in question was a reason why that originating nation never experienced a class-based revolution.

That sport was cricket. And The Ashes is its oldest and most culturally important competition.

Hey, the cameraman was focusing on the crowds and players' wives after the match. Rachel Flintoff is a bit of alright. Good job Freddie.
