[QUOTE="brianwinzor, post: 81950, member: 1067"] Centre Punch, Congtratulations!!!! Enjoy the moment. However, Aussies don't run for cover, and acknowledge that we were beaten by a team that was playing at home, and played better over the 5 Test series. No, we won't cry, and look forward to meeting you on home soil in 18 months time, and if you beat us again, then we will acknowledge that you are clearly the better team. Perhaps before the beers, champagne, and emotion of the victory clouds your perspective, it is best to remember that commencing in 1989, Oz has won 8 consecutive series (4 home, 4 away). Also, since 1876/77, Oz has a 126 - 97 win/ loss Test record over "the Poms", which by any reckoning is a significant difference. Apart from a lifetime interest in shooting, reloading, wildcatting, etc, I have had about 50 years involvement in cricket. To check how Trescothick, Strauss, etc compare to the Aussies, I invite you to visit [url="http://www.howstat.com"]www.howstat.com[/url], which is a cricket statistics website that a friend and I put online in November 2000. Enjoy the celebrations and good shooting. Brian. [/QUOTE]
