First the rugby union team beats the Aussies in back to back World Cups and now this! Beautiful! Just wish the cricket team could do the same.

I was just about to say "Whoa, hold yer horses there 'getinthebath' - we haven't beaten them yet!" when I remembered the time diff and checked - come on you England squash boys - RESULT!!!

I reckon it is time we took up Aussie Rules - they are ripe for the picking, we really have 'em beat, mentally they are shot to pieces.

Well done to JW, who so often seems to go missing in the big ones - maybe he doesn't need a head doctor after all. And as for PB, he just seems to get better and better, he's had some great results recently, many more to come I hope. Now if I can just win my Hampshire Leagues Div 4 league match tonight, I'll be well happy smiley

If only this got the recognition it deserves!! I mean back to back World Team Champs, 3 young English lads in the world top 13...imagine if England won the football World Cup?! I mean we'd never live it down. Andy Murray gets so much publicity and what has he really done?! Take Peter Nicol for instance, world number 1 for 5 years!! You think that would mean something!! I mean I still talk to people who dont know what squash is! Ahh...such a shame

It is sad that so few appreciate the great game of squash.
No other sport comes really close for developing fitness.
The upside is that is supported by a high percentage of people who actually play the game.
Anyway congratulations to England on holding on to world champs.
Not much else to cheer about these days
