      The amount of times England would win only the last test is pretty staggering, I am sure the Australians just let them win, then the press could go on about "great hope for the future after the last test" stories for 2 years.

      I am so excited I have got my Australia ODI top on today.

        Less of that.

        Just so that you know, in January 2005 before the last Ashes series in the UK, I bought two tickets to the fifth day of the fifth test from the Oval website for £10 each (unlike other grounds the Oval sold day 5 tickets in advance, I hadn't entered the ballot for other tickets).

        At the start of the series whenever I mentioned this to anyone they just looked at me with a pitiful look, as if to say "You poor deluded fool, there'll be no play that day. Even if there is it will be the humiliating end of another losing Ashes series."

        We all know how that turned out.









        Not that I am hopeful this time though.

          2-2 Aussies to retain the urn.

          Bloody colonials.

          In the town where I was born, there lived a man who was a thief
          And he told me of his life, stealing bread and shagging sheep.
          So they put him in the nick, and then a magistrate he went to see
          He said "put him on a ship, to the convict colony"
          You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony
          You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony

            I cannot see England getting more than one win, in fact I cannot see them getting a win.

              Make your mind up.

                It depends how much sledging, gamesmanship, aggro, luck, cheating those nasty aussies employ against our poor victims.

                  It'll have more to do with the fact they don't trust the only specialist spinner in their ranks and are relying on the part time spin of a few others.

                  Stick to rugby OS, you obviously know something about that sport.
