Hail the conquering heroes!?
England won the Ashes. Well done. Mucho back slapping and parades all round. OBE's are being drafted up as we speak and the coach has finally been given UK citizenship after 15 years of trying (if only Al Fayed had known).
I have no wish whatsoever to rain on England's well deserved parade, I am happy they won... truly. I have however, one minor, tiny little gripe, directed mainly at the media. A gripe that goes all the way back to the Rugby World Cup (and no doubt further if I could be arsed looking).
It is simply this: Please stop referring to these guys as "Heroes". Nothing they did was heroic in the slightest. They played a game and they won. Where is the heroism in that?
