I'm not sure Ricky Ponting is worth watching to be honest.

I've racked my brain, but I can't think of a witty retort.


The Ashes series has left me a broken man.

It's okay, I'm not cruel enough to continue 🙂

Worse and worse. Compassion? From a bloody Pom?

It turns out the Royal Mail have made the excellent decision to commemerate the Ashes win this summer. There are four stamps featuring scenes from the summers cricket, and scenes from the celebrations. Two of them are first class, and the other two? You might expect them to be second class, but no they are 68p stamps. 68p, I hear you ask, why that amount?

Guess how much it costs to send a letter to Australia?

Two strokes of genius there. The 68p stamps and finally putting recognisable people on them that aren't the royal family. Sadly they didn't drop the latter, but it's a start.
