    Maybe, it's still the England cricket team though. Although we are captained by an Irishman and desperately need that South African (Pietersen) back in our line up <laugh>

    Yep - the cricket team is called England, but the decision to allocate grounds was made by the England & Wales Cricket Board. Talking of captains.... My old school has produced 2 former England cricket captains - CF Walters and Tony Lewis.

    <laugh>, not whinging mate, just cautious.
    According to the radio the pitch is flat, dry & slow.

    That's my hope mate & let you drongo's chase it.
    If we bat first I reckon we'll lead the 1st innings.
    I been looking forward to this since the football season closed.
    Will you get much time to watch it what with the time difference?

    hopefully the grounds men will have sorted the pitches to suit our game more than the aussies.
    would love to get the ashes back and heart says 2-1 to us but brain says the convicts will win the day.
    Think the last time they won the ashes over here was in the 80's??
