<description><![CDATA[Life for England's Ashes-winning heroes was soon back to mundane normality. Four days after their golden evening at The Oval, they spent Thursday battling through a Duckworth-Lewis match against Ireland in rainy Belfast. "It was soggy and there were maybe 2,000 in the ground," says Matt Prior. "It felt a bit like a Pro40 Division One match with Sussex." After they had scraped home by three runs,<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

At ten minutes to six yesterday, on a glorious late summer's evening, with just a hint of triumphalism in the air, the England cricket team, 2009 vintage, gave us another.<br /><br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

It signalled not only one of the most remarkable entrances into the England team, it also sounded the start of a joyous countdown to the capture of the Ashes sometime today or tomorrow. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There was fun and frolics to be had on the final morning at Headingley Carnegie, but the last laugh belonged to Australia. This was a crushing victory and the final flourish provided by Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann had no more effect on the punishment dished out than the student who flicks a "V" at the headmaster once his back is turned.<br /><br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>
