And the rest of the team. None of these Australians know what it's like to lose an Ashes series. And I bet they don't want to be the first team to do so for nearly 20 years. I imagine you and your fellow 'upside downers' over there have got happily used to the fact that the (replica) Ashes belong to Australia. If I was in the team, I don't think I'd want to return to face the Australian press and public without that little trophy on board.
