Before the Ashes, the usual mouth-pieces of the English press were playing mind games of their own, hailing the usual players who would shine, and treated the Australians like beginners. Felt bad for Geoffrey Boycott, who seemed close to tears himself after the second round!
It's a shame that the few of the English team who did switch on and almost twin the hype the press had given them, ended up not only having the Australians run rings around them, but even worse, folded up the classical England way.
We will in perpetuum remember 2005 (like we still do 1966, but concerning a different sport) - but like both sports, forget how we did it then.
