Before the bloodletting begins...

... let us just be entirely positive for a moment, and pay tribute to the Aussies. This team may not have quite had the stamp of greatness of previous teams under Messrs Taylor and Waugh, but it actually tried harder. And that, combined with the fact that it was still very, very good, added up to a consistently brilliant performance. Clark, Hussey, and Ponting were magnificent, and Symonds increasingly performed like he was from another planet.

And as for McGrath and Warne... Without overdoing it, I think more England fans should wake up to just how all-time great they were, and how rare it is to be able to see such greats, in any sport, in one's watching lifetime. Especially Warne. We are all going to miss him. After all, we all even love Maradona now.

Oh, yeah, and Langer retired, too. Can't think of anything nice to say about him.

I did feel a certain amount of sadness at realising that we've seen the last of Warne at Test level. It was a shame in a way that he didn't take the final wicket.

As for McGrath? Well he can just f*ck off.
