To any English FBers, don't overlook the sheer, unbridled joy that the result against the Irish has brought to the rest of the cricketing world. Good times indeed.

27. A number of the England players can probably now park in the disabled bay at their local supermarket without the need for a permit or explanation.

This happened after most Australians had gone to sleep.

28. They've only really lost to an England A side in this tournament. I'm pretty sure when Ireland got home rule it was a toss up between being called the Irish republic or England A.

Ay, I thought of that, too - but as the aim of this thread is to cheer up the Poms, I thought not to mention it.

31. It's only a game. And wrist slashing is so silly, and unsightly.

32. Guinness tastes gross, like cold coffee, anyway,

33. If there were an award for most sensible hair, England would at least be in the top three.

34. So far no players have been mauled by an escaped lion between overs.

Ah the WC in SA. Good times.

38. It could have been worse. They could have lost to the Netherlands and the Indians could have managed 50 overs without a 'one short' call. Then they'd have been in the excrement ...

39. Who cares? We won the f*cking ashes.

Has that been said already?

42. Chris Tremlett hasn't broken down in three weeks and counting.

45. In the games against Holland, India, Ireland and South Africa, they've represented the indefatigable spirit of the minnow from both sides of the coin.

Have we played Ireland again with Eoin Morgan playing?

46. Soon the suffering will be over.
