England win the Commonwealth Bank Series
England won in Australia. England won a one-day match. England won a tournament. None of those things happen very often. England have won a one-day tournament in Australia.
On Australia Day, England were bowled out for 110 and Australia knocked off the target for the loss of one wicket. The match prior to that, England had managed only 120 all out in reply to New Zealand's 210 and the one before that, they'd been bowled out for 155. Now England have managed four one-day wins on the trot, three against Australia, to win the Commonwealth Bank Series. What the bloody hell happened?
Earlier in this tournament, Australia's coach, John Buchanan complained that Australia weren't being tested by their opponents. Turns out they weren't up to the challenge.
We're going to spend the next ten minutes standing in the back garden with our fists in the air as a mark of solemn triumph. Then we'll get cold and come in for a cup of tea.
