It's all just too sweet

We may never see its like again.

Exhaustion. 25 days of stomach-wrenching nerves, unbearable excitement, and some of the greatest sport you will ever see. When Steve Harmison (this seems like years ago) unleashed the first over of the series at Justin Langer, this was everything we hoped for, and some.

Thank you Vaughny.
Thank you Freddie.
Thank you KP.
Thank you Straussy for your 2 hundreds and *that* catch.
Thank you Geraint, for your performances, especially that 85 at Nottingham.
Thank you Harmy, Hoggy and Gilo for your sheer English persistence and for being so much better than everyone thought you would be.
Thank you Jonesy for taking 18 at 21 and for bowling your heart out.

Thank you Shane and Glenn for being the greatest of your time.
Thank you Ricky and Adam for the quality of your team, your performances, your guts and your sportsmanship.

Just, thank you.
