HaHa! Having watched your link to video, VO, I am reminded why I don't follow what players have to say about the cricket they've just played. I love cricket but I have more interesting things in my life than the inane chatter of people who are portrayed as interesting to listen to just because they are interesting to watch.
On a technical point, TWO nations 'are perplexed' as we are constantly told now that it is the 'England and Wales' cricket team contesting the Ashes.
I heard someone who hasn't grasped this yet (or just doesn't want to) ask why the first Test was being played on a neutral ground! Cardiff not being in England or Australia, like! HaHa!

Chained_bear, if you're right, then England don't mean a thing.

'England swings like a pendulum do' - from a Sixties hit song. If it had been a Seventies hit song then it would have meant 'England wife-swaps like a ....'. Perhaps that's why we're mystified.
