Sackcloth and Ashes
Just a couple of things to say about the Ashes.
1. It only feels this good because it happens so rarely, doesn't it? For this kind of euphoria, you've got to endure years and years of crapness and mediocrity. Which would you prefer? Regular wins, or this?
2. Aren't the losing side supposed to be the ones who "get" the Ashes? What's all this about "winning" the Ashes? Isn't it all supposed to be a beautiful irony? Hence the tiny urn instead of the huge trophy (and nPower really deserve a slap for attempting to present a huge trophy, by the way, idiots). The tiny urn, which is presented to the losing side.
Right?
