Outside-half Toby Flood kicked seven penalties and two conversions to end the match with 25 points, a record for an Englishman against the Wallabies. And finally, there are two ways to interpret the sequence of figures that reads 517-1. The first is that it refers to what is now the most famous score in the history of English sport. The second is that it stands for the ratio of England fans to Australians inside the Gabba for the first test in Brisbane. Actually, both are correct. Correct and mind-blowingly beautiful. Okay, 4-2 for a world cup victory against Germany but that's going back a bit. And, yes, 5-1 against Germany in Munich was fun, too. But 517-1. Against Australia. In Australia. During the First Test of an Ashes series. At the ground Australians like to call the Gabbatoir because they slaughter teams there. Got to be up there. Oh, by the way, England won the second test in Adalaide, humiliating The Aussies with an innings and 71 run Victory.
