England Cricket Team
Not a hero this week but a whole team full of them. At least 18 englishmen made a significant contribution to the wonderful ashes victory at the weekend - a team effort indeed. Forget we were saved from rain in one text, forget that this might have been a sub-standard aussie side, forget flintoffs retirement and petersens injury - Lets just concentrate on the big massive positive - England retains the Ashes in some style
