Til the first day of the ashes. It is going to be class. There is so much to look forward to. Pieterson on debut and some untried people. Flintoff has never played a test v the ozzies. And Hoggard has improved 10 fold since he last played them. Simon Jones and Geraint Jones have never played them and Strauss. Vaughn has dropped to 3 in the batting. Harmison has also become a key player compared to a change bowler. In fact it is fair to say that sunce we last played the Ozzies the team is totally different while the Ozzies have changed little. They still have Lee, McGrath, Gillespee, Gilchrist, Hayden, Langer, Martyn, Warne, Kasprowich and MacGill (although I think they were in the squad but didn't actually play. In fact it is fair to say that they are nearly unchanged apart from the retirement of the Waugh brothers.

Oh dear I am so excited!

Plays in midfield and his name is Tommy Miller,

I hope we bowl first, i'll be feelin pretty nervous if we have to bat and we lose an early wicket, which is bound to happen....can't wait for Thursday though Cheesy

Guess who agreed to go into Swindon on Thursday at 11am to get some stuff sorted for the scoreboard this season?

Fucks sake.

The first test starts at 10.25a.m according to my Guardian guide to the ashes.

National Pride suggests you should back England. http://www.spacespider.net/emo/signs049.gif
Rational thinking suggest putting everything you own on the Aussies.

I can't see us winning the series, but losing 3-1 or 3-2 should be the minimum aim. I think losing by more than 2 tests would be considered a disaster!
