Well done England!

I have just witnessed the last wicket fall in the fourth Test Match in the Ashes series and seen England take back the Ashes in spectacular style.

I was listening to TMS on Thursday, scarcely able to believe my ears as the Ozzies were destroyed by a bowling spell from Stuart Broad which has few parallels in modern cricket. 8 for 15? It doesn't even sound like a cricket score. After the Australians had been dispatched for just 60 runs, one of the commentators kept saying "All over in 18.3 overs. 18.3 overs". He was clearly unable to believe what he had just seen. True, Jim Lakers incredible figures of 9 for 37 and 10 for 53 in the 1956 Ashes test match at Old Trafford remain safe, as they may well do for all time, even though the Indian captain Anil Kumble also achieved a clean sweep of 10 for 74 in 1999 against Pakistan in New Delhi. But Broad's achievement is nonetheless magnificent for its sheer audacity. And Broady didn't enjoy one of stickiest wickets ever used in a test match, as did our Jim back in 1956.

Nice one England! You have shown how a brave new bunch of young players can sometimes thrash a team of old established masters of the game, so great credit must go to the selectors and management of the England side- and you don't get to say that very often!
