It's boring , Aus keeps taking the ashes home

I'm just not surprised anymore. Australia is just so much better, it's embarrassing. The only good matches are in England, because them at least England had a chance.

This season was better, episode 2 with the Bairstow run out and the English fans throwing a tantrum was pretty great, and the English acting like them simply turning up merits praise is always good for a laugh.

Hopefully next season is more competitive and interesting, but it's taking place in Australia, so it'll probably be like 4-1 Aussies way.

Australia has held the ashes 5 times in a row, there's many kids who have grown up in a world where they don't even know what an England victory feels like. Sad.

At least the WTC and the world cups are interesting if you're an Aussie and Indian fan.
