It is. Can understand letting Beefy go, but not Gower.
Any word on Gower's replacement? Maybe Wardie is going to step up as full-time presenter.
Yeah Botham is no great loss, bloke is a complete tool.
Probably wise to get rid of Gower at the same time, I'm a big fan of the energy that Ward provides and the way he connects with the likes of Atherton and Hussain. I'd love to see Warne go and perhaps Key to come in although it does make the commentary team very batter heavy. Just need to find a good ex-bowler who isn't a tool like Warne to come in and then they've got easily the best commentary team in the world. Miles better than the trash teams that the Aussies assemble.
In terms of the series, whilst we didn't regain the Ashes it's important that we can still say that the Aussies haven't won a test series here since 2001. By the time the Ashes are next hosted in England there might well be players on one or both sides that were born more recently than the last Aussie series win here!
Strange to think we had an entire summer of international cricket here in England that consisted of a tied World Cup Final and a drawn Ashes series... An entire summer of cricket for essentially two draws! Now I understand why some people don't understand or like cricket!
