Tomorrow it begins.

The Ashes are the ultimate, not One Day and definitely not T20. A 5 Match Test Series, as it should be.

Its going to be a great series between the two teams. I expect that our better bowlers, even without taking home conditions into consideration, will prove the key. One bad thing in the lead up is Trent Bridges' decision to not allow the Barmy Army trumpeter to play is trumpet, therefore robbing an iconic part of an England home Test match.

I think the Aussies will lose 41-16....oops, sorry, wrong sport. I mean they'll lose 3-1. Sir Ian Botham though says over the corse of the back-to-back series England will win 10-0. In our dreams.
