Too much maths?

I've been reading over my last few posts and concluded that I have been, probably, too geeky.

So, in a feeble attempt to rectify this: What a fantastic victory for the Australians over England in the cricket! I mean, the Ashes contest is not technically over yet (but really, it is). I went to bed Monday night thinking it would just be a draw, and woke up to the radio announcing that Australia were 10 runs away from victory!

I don't think England should be so hard on themselves, to be honest. Collapses happen in cricket all the time, and the English team, while capable of beating Australia, just doesn't have the same depth.

My own personal view is that the next Ashes will be a much closer affair - England has a really talented team that is much younger. In a couple of years, they'll be stronger, wiser and tougher. In contrast, the Australian team will be without Warne and McGrath.
