Next Wednesday the Ashes start and for the two months we'll be gripped by what we hope will be a titanic battle, resulting in the victory for the England team (or should that be England & Wales)
Here are some of my thoughts:-
- KP is not scoring runs as flowingly as he should. He will need to change this, but is capable of rising to the occasion
- Cardiff as a venue for the first test match is, as "Yes Minister" would put it, a brave decision. It could be even courageous!
- Sky Sports have given me the ability to watch the "action" live on my laptop. As I'm a Sky Sports subscriber, for free.
- We appear to have better spinners than the Australians; it's a long time since we've been able to say that.
- This series will either make or break, Andrew Strauss as England captain.
- Ricky Ponting needs to have a great series with the bat for the Aussies to retain the Ashes, if he doesn't the effect on the rest of his team could be terminal.
It's all very exciting and let's hope at the end, like Eric Morecambe, we've got our hands on the little urn.
