England have won the Ashes!
ENGLAND'S women held their nerve to secure a six-wicket win against Australia at New Road and reclaim the Ashes for the first time in 42 years.
Clare Connor's victorious side lost four quick wickets in their pursuit of the 75-run target but Arran Brindle and Lydia Greenway held on for England's first series win over Australia since 1984.
The Aussies started the fourth and final day on 179-7, but were eventually dismissed for 232.
England then lost two quick wickets but still powered home

Well it does look as though the guys might secure a win at Trent Bridge.....its going quite well at the moment. They surely can't let the girlies take all the glory can they???

There's a "cricket rules" thread on the cafe somewhere. I would post a link if I knew how to do it.
chocolatedog's explanation was particularly coherent I remember

His hair is amusing!
I think the entire team were slightly worse for wear this morning. Esp. Flintoff who could barely walk and Pietersen who nearly fell out of the bus!

There was a large turnout in London today...and in the words of the slightly compromised Freddie 'There was so many [people] that I couldn't count them all'
