I'm going to copy a letter from The Times as an example of Britishness........
Sir, I can imagine nothing more British than being at Sunday's Promenade Concert at the Royal Albert Hall when two minutes before the performance, the news came over the speaker system to a packed audience that England had won the fourth Test.
Foreign tourists and non-cricketers looked bemused at the spontaneous roar and applause at the announcement; and I would swear that a smile even came over the face of the bust of Sir Henry Wood.

Now I've been following the Ashes series very closely and all these close finishes are starting to fray my nerves, so I'm glad that there's a couple of weeks to reset them all before the final Test. A Test in which England have to only draw to win the Ashes...... I'd like them to win, but I'd settle for a draw.... as long as it isn't as close as the Old Traford Test which was heart-wrenching......
But to be able to have the Ashes back would be great, if only cause cricket is that much better a game than any other that might be played.... especially considering that the season seems to be starting earlier and earlier every year!!!!!
