England bowled out Australia on day four to win by an innings and 157 runs and retained The Ashes for the first time in 24 years. Now I'll have to find something else to write about.
I was busy this afternoon and missed the hour and a half of action. Australia, trailing badly, was swinging for the fences and recorded at least two sixes, which I've never seen.
Next up, the ICC World Cup of cricket, being played on the Indian sub-continent, in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. In World Cup play, each side bowls 50 overs, and the matches usually last one day, but can extend to two days if rain or other delays occur. I like Test cricket better, because every player is involved and the possibility of a draw keeps things interesting. Plus, you have to get the other side all out, which is more challenging than just scoring more runs in 50 overs than the other guys.
Pitchers and catchers report in only two months!
