Ashes Victory
I congratulate Michael Clarke and the Australian cricket team on a stunning Ashes victory.
Winning the Ashes five-nil is a historic triumph.
Each of our players had the hopes of the nation on their shoulders and they performed with distinction to achieve this extraordinary victory.
Australians are incredibly proud of them.
To win so comprehensively after disappointment earlier last year shows tremendous character.
