On a seemingly Pyrrhic victory

You did it! You did it! You said that you would do it, And indeed you did. I thought that you would rue it; I doubted you'd do it. But now I must admit it That succeed you did. You should get a medal Or be even made a knight.

Lyrics to the song "You did it", from My Fair Lady.

And indeed they did do it, although not quite in the manner of 2005. There is something a little hollow about this Ashes victory. Perhaps it need a mountainous performance from Freddie in the final test to make it truly the stuff of legend. But nonetheless they did it, so well done.
