Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Sep. 21st, 2004 06:17 pmEngland beat Australia today in the ICC Champions' Trophy. That said, what impressed me was less the win than the manner of the win. Australia are the ultimate pros; able, mentally and physically tough, ruthless. Today's Australians would have laughed in scorn at their forebears who considered bodyline 'unsporting'. Today England were abler, tougher and equally ruthless. I am impressed.
