Can't wait for this. Would love the thread to be stickied for the duration.

Think it could go 2-1 either way with 1 test washed out and the other a draw.

Renewed optimism after the series with the Kiwis. With some added hunger with Wood, Lyth etc.

That Wood is quick mind - batted against him 2 seasons back and couldn't see the ball. Ended up hitting me in the helmet!!

How come you're not playing this week mate?

Or are you Ben Stokes?

Perhaps because it's the England & Wales Cricket Board ...... and Cardiff has offered more on the back of Welsh Government funding?

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.
 
Well done billy great thread <ok> A ball hasn't even been bowled and you poms are already whinging <laugh> Harris big loss but I expect hazelwood to step up. Anyone know What the pitch is like? 3-0 to the Aussies! <ale>

Yeah I reckon both captains will wanna bat first, set up a big total and hope for early wickets.. It's got draw written all over it but hoping for an exciting test!

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??
