2013/14 Ashes thread

[Woodsey]

Ok I'm not arsed about the current ODI's really, but today spiked my interest.

I'm going to the first day of the Ashes at Trent Bridge and really can't wait, I didn't realise it was the first day when I booked it.

6 months of Ashes home and away, going to be epic imo 

[Longy]

Thursday and Saturday at Trent bridge, Saturday at old Trafford are the days I will be attending. I know a certain a blonde who might have tickets for Durham that used to be mine!

Looking forward to giving the Aussies a thumping but I think it will be more competitive than most imagine.

Yeah, agree with that Mark.
England batting has been poor the last 12-18 months on the whole, needs improving as conditions will suit the Aussie seamers. Even though their spin options are poor, Englands batters always struggle against spin.

Think the Warner incident might result in him playing better. Was relishing him trying to take the attack on early as he doesn't have the techniques to play English conditions. With whats gone on he might batten the hatches a bit and thus not give his wicket away as much.

Saying all that couldn't think of anything better than England smashing the Aussies to pieces. As a kid all I ever saw was England getting thrashed...

[The Camel]

Hope England win easily at home, because I might get a great price the Aussies later in the year.

Thursday Friday Trent bridge possibly Saturday! Absolutely buzzing hope we crush their souls

4-0 England! Trott to score 750 runs in the series!

I still have a spare ticket for Days 3 and 4 of the Durham test if anyone's interested (or two tickets).

I can't wait for it, 1st day of the 1st Test is on my Dad's birthday, love the Ashes.

Preferred Arthur in charge to be honest. Lehman will galvanise the team
