Who's Your Daddy Now?

Finally, England have their first win against Australia during the ongoing travesty called the "Commonwealth Bank Series" after their miserably botched Ashes campaign where the only thing that they won was the toss a couple of times. And by travesty, I meant for the English. They have been generally deriding one day cricket during their build up to the Ashes. How very stupid of them.. I mean, I can understand Australians deriding one day, tests or whatever form of cricket. Hell, the guys win most of the games, any form of it and win every single one that matters. What I don't understand is how can England, so miserable in anything which says limited overs or any cricket in general these days, have such a complacent attitude. Specially, with the World Cup barely few months away. Till the Ashes were comfortably snatched, every other English player seemed to be in Ashes dreamland. Anyways, Ashes have gone to dust now and the English need wins like the other day to boost/salvage any sort of "joy and pride" that they might have left in the cupboard. The performance was suitably impressive whose groundwork was done by mostly new recruits, themselves found by scrapping the bottom of once "joy and pride" full barrel. Ed Joyce (though, lucky couple of time) with the bat and Liam Plunkett with the ball did their 2 bits to ensure England's big byte. In the process they also brought back that very famous and very sorely missing thing back, Freddie's smile. Given all the brouhaha the original Ashes campaigners made about Australian being "Dad's Army", at least these new recruits, on their behalf, instead of rolling over like them, can proudly turn around and say, "Who's your daddy now??". For now... ;)
