England would be jolly good at celebrating

THE World Cup trophy has been broken again. The victorious Australian party arrived in Sydney after their 44-hour journey from Barbados to Sydney with its central bolt broken, requiring another trip to the silversmiths in London. It was damaged in India during the winter, and details of both incidents have been discreetly withheld.

At a news conference the captain Ricky Ponting said that the match officials in the final had given him a choice of returning the following day to finish, but he preferred to play out the remaining minutes in the dark with the game already won. “It sounded a whole lot better to us to get those three overs out of the way that night than come back the next morning,” he said. “I'd have been struggling to find someone to bowl the three overs the next morning.”
Ponting added: “The celebrations were long and hard which is what they should be after you win a World Cup. There were some pretty amazing scenes coming back to Australia from guys with not a lot of clothing on at different hours of the morning, but we celebrated as we should.”

CHARLIE SAYS: If only England could win the World Cup, we would be jolly good at celebrating – double somersaults on pedalos, the whole works.
