ashes certainly cricket feeling game gave hanging hit kids mean people streets tells waving windows
It certainly gave you a feeling that the Ashes mean so much to so many people and the nation, to see people hanging out of the windows at work, to see kids waving in the streets certainly tells me that the game of cricket has hit home.
