No feral media - but weeping Wallabies will do just as well

The final Ashes Test is meandering towards a draw meaning that England will deservedly take The Ashes back from Australia. England winning also means that I miss out on the anticipated media mauling they would have received had they lost the final test.

Instead they look set to replace the 1966 World Cup English Football side when it comes to sporting hyperbole - not to mention replacing sliced bread as the greatest thing since, well, always.

Nevermind - I now get to watch another of my favourite things. An Australian captain repeating, 'be gracious, be gracious, be gracious' over and over in their minds before the losers speech. Not quite as much fun as media hawks over a bleeding English sporting corpse, but fun nonetheless.
