Prime Minister David Cameron led the tributes after speaking to winning captain Andrew Strauss, declaring “the whole country is incredibly proud” of the England team. But the real celebrations had already kicked off more than 10,000 miles away in Sydney from the moment the final Australian wicket, that of bowler Michael Beer, fell. It was the signal for around 15,000 England fans inside the ground to start an orgy of celebration that was expected to continue for days. Fans began filling the bars of the Aus- tralian city from their 10am opening time ahead of an official “end of tour” party at the Retro Hotel near the water- front. For the hard-core Barmy Army, who have spent tens of thousands of pounds following the England team over the past seven weeks of the Ashes tour, it was a moment almost too sweet to bear. Jamie Gavin, 22, a trainee journalist from York, said: “I’ve been here since Brisbane. The amount of UK people who have defied the recession to be here has been unbelieveable. We’re by far the best supported cricket team in the world and we deserve every suc- cess after 24 years. We’re going to celebrate what’s been a memorable day and see how it goes long into the night. I’ll cry when I get home.” At the Bat and Ball pub next to the SCG, Blackheath-based film program- mer Kevin Franklin, 50, said: “To win 3-1 is better than anything I could have imagined, it’s been magical. It’s been very expensive but worthwhile. It’s the greatest sporting moment of my life.” Outside the Paragon Pub, next to Sydney’s Circular Quay, a massive and noisy crowd of red and white left local commuters in no doubt as to who had the Ashes. One defiant Australian who shouted “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” to the crowd provoked a mocking echo of the chant in high-pitched ladies’ voices. But amid the celebrations there were a few negative notes. Former England captain Freddie Flintoff tweeted angrily about the “awful” presentation of the Ashes at the Sydney ground. He said: “Forgot Cooky’s medal, no champagne, no individual medals. The boys deserved better than that! Dis- graceful!” For the vast majority, however, it was no time for carping, only revelling in an achievement that will rank among the very highest in English sporting history.

The party begins for our heroes Down UnderPlayers and fans celebrate after historic win against AussiesJonathan Prynn and Daisy Dumas
ENGLAND cricket fans started a 24- hour party after ending 24 years of Ashes hurt by finally beating the Aus-tralians in their own backyard.
Players joined the thousands of mem-bers of the Barmy Army who witnessed the final stage of the devastasting 3-1 rout of Australia.
After the victory at Sydney’s SCG sta-dium the squad downed beers in the dressing room while spin bowler Graeme Swann performed the famous sprinkler dance on the pitch for his tour video diary. Batsman Kevin Pietersen relaxed with a cigarette on the square where England made history at 12.56am London time.
Prime Minister David Cameron led the tributes after speaking to winning captain Andrew Strauss, declaring “the whole country is incredibly proud” of the England team.
But the real celebrations had already kicked off more than 10,000 miles away in Sydney from the moment the final Australian wicket, that of bowler Michael Beer, fell.
It was the signal for around 15,000 England fans inside the ground to start an orgy of celebration that was expected to continue for days.
Fans began filling the bars of the Aus-tralian city from their 10am opening time ahead of an official “end of tour” party at the Retro Hotel near the water-front.
For the hard-core Barmy Army, who have spent tens of thousands of pounds following the England team over the past seven weeks of the Ashes tour, it was a moment almost too sweet to bear.
Jamie Gavin, 22, a trainee journalist from York, said: “I’ve been here since Brisbane. The amount of UK people who have defied the recession to be here has been unbelieveable. We’re by far the best supported cricket team in the world and we deserve every suc-
cess after 24 years. We’re going to celebrate what’s been a memorable day and see how it goes long into the night. I’ll cry when I get home.”
At the Bat and Ball pub next to the SCG, Blackheath-based film program-mer Kevin Franklin, 50, said: “To win 3-1 is better than anything I could have imagined, it’s been magical. It’s been very expensive but worthwhile. It’s the greatest sporting moment of my life.”
Outside the Paragon Pub, next to Sydney’s Circular Quay, a massive and noisy crowd of red and white left local commuters in no doubt as to who had the Ashes.
One defiant Australian who shouted
“Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” to the crowd provoked a mocking echo of the chant in high-pitched ladies’ voices.
But amid the celebrations there were a few negative notes. Former England captain Freddie Flintoff tweeted angrily about the “awful” presentation of the Ashes at the Sydney ground.
