The Ashes have been returned

[Cindy]

Australia is 3-0 in the Ashes and unassailable.

The Poms will be dejected. 

Of note is that the best commentary by far has been by Cate McGregor for the ABC in Australia.

Well done Cate!!

Yes!!!!  Well done boys!!

As far as I can tell, Cindy says Australia has elected a new Pope, and Liz is chuffed about it. 

Hugs, Devlyn

Wait... that wasn't a recipe for sour apple crumb cake?

I see there is a lack of comment from our English Girls....

I'm taking the higher moral ground.

In fact the only cricket match I've been to was a one-day international at Headingly between Oz and England... If I recall.. We won [emoji16]

Lol, I haven't watched Cricket in several years, maybe closer to a decade, but I'm really not surprised. Last I heard the England test team were rubbish. Couldn't bat their way out of a paper bag. Not to take anything away from the Aussie team. I'm sure it was a well-fought trouncing.

This is so out of my league. But I watched Curling today [emoji56]

The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language. Looks like we have to add Australia to the list.

But we can't win them in England.

So you won at cricket (for now). We' ll beat you at rugby & we've always beat you at beer making. Fosters & Castlemaine should only be used for killing slugs

[LizK]

....... we've always beat you at beer making. Fosters & Castlemaine should only be used for killing slugs

I'll concede you point about the beer here and I personally would not be that cruel to slugs as to use it to kill them, I am sure there are far more humane ways to do it

Definitely agree about the beer. I always thought it was made specifically to export to the UK. Cruel I know but funny in a way.

Your TV shows haven't been too hot either, Bluey, Spy Force & Prisoner Cell Block H are just 3 offenders I can remember

Don't forget Neighbours, Home & Away, and of course... Skippy! [emoji23]

You all do know that the reason the rest of the universe thinks we are just a bumch of primitive apes and ignores us is because cricket is played on this planet?

According to Douglas Adams anyway.

I should think our English TV critics should remember that old saying about people in glass houses..... I don't want to embarrass you but the list is long.... ;)Then there is all those insufferable movies...(dashing for a cabinet to hide behind)

Liz, I can't believe. I think someone tried to insult Skippy!!!!

I mean, is nothing sacred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LizK]

Cindy....the beer we can all agree on, but some things are just sacred.....

I can only repeat what I have heard from others about beer as I never have consumed alcohol however Fosters is sold in the United States. We produce it in the United State and have for a long time. When I visited the Tumwater Washington brewery, their primary product was Millers however they produce a couple of dozen products and Fosters was included in the mix. Somebody  liked it enough for them to continue brewing it.
