Cricket: Playing for the Ashes
The build up to the Ashes always seem to go on forever. Even when South Africa played England last summer, all the commentators spoke of was the Ashes.
Now it’s here! Cricket’s answer to Livepool vs Man United or Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal.
This time around both teams are pretty average and probably the third and fourth best test cricket teams in the world.
Both stand a good a chance as the other of victory.
I won’t even say which one is third or fourth – because they’re equally ‘in a building phase’ to put it politely.
The entire cricketing world gets caught up in the Ashes series though. Personally I support the Aussies – actually I will support any team that plays against England in any sport.
Since 1989 England have just won the Ashes once – and didn’t they just live on that memory forever and a day.
Like they still celebrate winning the 1966 soccer World Cup.
Australia won the last series held in Australia during 2006/2007. It was a white-wash 5-0!
Whatever side you choose, the next 5 days should be test cricket at it’s best – even more so because they’re playing for the Ashes!
