England regain the Ashes beating Australia by 197 runs in the 5th test at the Oval.
After losing 5-0 in Australia in 2007, victory in The Oval sun was reminiscent of England's legendary 2005 Ashes win.
Australia resumed on 80-0 needing a further 446 for a world record win but twice lost two wickets in two overs.
Andrew Flintoff, in his final Test, brilliantly ran out Ricky Ponting (66) and Mike Hussey was last out at 1749 BST having made a gritty century.
The target of 546 had never been achieved in any first-class match, and only once had a team scored more than 500 batting last in a Test.

"How's that!" "Well done, boys!" "Pride in English cricket!" "I think I'll have a pint of good old English beer!"

I had some Scrumpy Jack today, but that was pure coincidence.
Would be more interested if it was Women's cricket.
