Q: Your views on the Ashes (series)
F: Nice and grey…like they should be…only that the stones had gone a bit wet and so it took some time to light the fire to the wood

Q: ?? …what was that about?
F: You asked me about how the Flintstones made ash?

Q: Oh…anyways…sure.. Pommies played stoneage cricket anyways….and what were the reasons for this loss?
F:  We were cheated…we expected the Flintstones to fire in stones with catapults and we were surprised by some blokes using red colored round stuff ….

Q: Those were Kookaburra cricket balls?
F: Cricket’s balls…that big…we ne’er have crickets and grasshoppers back home…so the team is not used to these

Q: Any other reasons?
F: Lemme’ think…Ah yes….the Barmy Army…were singing out of tune and disturbed the Aussies …

Q: Disturbed the Aussies…but, then they should have performed badly
F: …U don’t understand…they were so disturbed that they wanted to get back to the dressing rooms fast….
Q: Oh…that is why the matches did not last full five days
F: See…now you can understand….Barmy Army….

Q: Any other reasons?
F: That bullet from New Delhi spectator…
Q: What about that?
F: Nothing…u wanted a reason…
Q (persistent): Anything else ….
F: Record books….Only English team post World War 2 to lose 0-5…
Q: And….
F: Bad light….
Q: Bad light !!??
F: From the shadow of Vaughan’s presence

Q: Do you think the urn should remain in Australia or go back to England
F:   urn …turn (thinking of Warne’s bowling)…burn (thanking there are no effigies in Eng)…they all rhyme……can I go back to school….I love you Mommy
Q: No..No ..Flintoff….the Urn….the Ashes….
F: Ashes …to Ashes….Dust to Dust…..
