ALL FALL DOWN:

England Overjoyed at Australia Cricket Win (Gavin Lower, 12/29/10, WSJ)

The singing of overjoyed English cricket fans roared from Melbourne bars and pubs long after their team secured an emphatic win against arch rivals Australia, retaining the prized Ashes trophy.

Under a clear perfect blue sky the English team wrapped up the Test match before lunch time Wednesday, giving their supporters an excuse to toast their success with early rounds of beer in celebration.

It was the first time England had retained an Ashes series in Australia since 1986-87.
