The Aussie's aren't much cop at the minute, are they? Even Phil Tuffnell has won a series Down Under!

The ONLY time:D
Funny how they keep losing the last test match of the series. Must be something to do with the postmatch "celebrations" :barf: following the series clincher.

Great link which includes my joint all-time favourite sporting quote:
Glenn McGrath & Eddo Brandes, it’s very possibly the greatest story about biscuits ever told.
After the Zimbabwe number eleven played and missed at a McGrath delivery, the Aussie bowler wandered up the wicket and politely enquired:
“Oi, Brandes, why are you so fat ?”
“Cos every time I f**k your wife she gives me a biscuit,” replied Brandes.
Apparently, even the Aussie slips cordon was reduced to tears of laughter.
My other favourite quote, which may be an urban myth (American NOOLers please confirm) was from Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson, the 1970's Dallas Cowboys Linebacker live on network TV:
Interviewer:"Do you perefer Astroturf or grass"
Henderson:"I don't know, I've never smoked Astroturf"
It takes a formidable bowling attack....to help set such a record 
oh forgot "they were tired"
I've heard/read most of those before, but how good was the tickets please gag. Almost as good as the Love V on Retro hoax...
One of my favourites is:
"Allan Border once hit six sixes off an Irish bowler in Dublin. In the same game the bowler was out for a duck. If the Irish player had been a Pom he would have been regarded as an all-rounder."

Fair play to them.
Fortunately that was a dead rubber after a series drubbing. And we're still No.1 in both forms of the game. All-conquering? Yep.

Think that should be "tired and emotional" in Private Eye-speak.
