Victory!

Go England! Spectators grab any vantage point possible, England v Australia, The Oval, September 12, 2005

Savour the moment. This has been the best test match series that I have ever seen. The tension, the anxiety have been intense, but to have beaten the best makes it all worthwhile.

The Australians have been magnificent adversaries, tenacious and determined they fought well and were magnanimous in defeat. I watched the third test in Amsterdam with a group of Aussies and there was no animosity just a shared passion for the game of cricket and what it stands for.
