So England have done it and finally broken the Lord's/Ashes spell. Can it really be 70 odd years since England beat Australia at Lord's? If so, why on earth do England play there? I have heard about providing a level playing field (something with Lord’s can never be) but not winning for 70 years is ridiculous.
Eight days before England won at Lord's they were 100-5, soon to be 159-7 with an innings defeat and a 0-1 score line looming large. What a difference a week makes, I wonder what the odds were at lunch time of the final day of the first Test of England leaving Lord's with an Ashes lead.

I don't understand Rob .. you don't want to play in Lords? Or just the Ashes?
I meant it litorally: Lord's is not a level field -- it drops 8 feet from one side to another.
