England win Lords' Ashes Test. An apology.

Er… within minutes of my posting this morning, that critical wicket fell and I was proved to be the ignoramus I admitted being in my original posting.

I can only say that England tried a lot harder this morning than they were doing last night.

But it is an incredible thought that having beaten this bogey of no win against the aussies at Lords since 1934, it is worth mentioning that my grandpa who had been to the relief of Khartoum in the 1870s, may well have watched the match in 1934 and will certainly have read about it.

Anyway, collapse of stout party I’m off to nurse my credibility and my wounds.
