Winning the series has been mentioned plenty of times by Paine, Langer and many others.
Why go to all the effort to draw the series?
I don't think Steve Waugh would be in the dressing room saying well done boys, you can kick back now, we've retained the ashes
Do see your point but in England I would've killed for a 2-2 before the series started. Much prefer if we get a 3-1, and pissed off that Paine has made that harder for us this Test by sending them in, but 2-2 is a good result.
The way they celebrated retaining the Ashes, Steve Waugh, who was there, might've joined in that celebration. They celebrated like there was no tomorrow. Wouldn't be surprised we weren't switched on yesterday because of that. We were very sloppy.
