OPEN TOP BUS, HONOURS, FOR HEROES
England's cricketing heroes will be rewarded with an open top bus ride through the centre of London following their emphatic trouncing in today's ODI.
England thrashed a poor Australian outfit by 92 runs in a contest that was embarassingly one-sided from first to last.
It was the latest triumph for a rampant England side who also won a ODI against New Zealand recently, and before that a series against Bangladesh in 2003, and one against Pakistan in 1978.
"It's the latest in a long line of expert performances, and there's a lot of positives we can take from the game," said stand-in stand-in skipper Andy Flintoff. "We truly nailed them, and so we're going to get proper bladdered tonight. Except the lads who don't drink of course."
Prime Minister Tony Blair couldn't resist commenting: "It's a fantastic performance by the lads, and that Mickey Rooney's a great player. If any of them want to put a few coins in my collection box I'm sure I can reward them with... Doh, what am I saying! I'd like my solicitor to be present before I say any more."
