Yes. It makes sense. I found the fixtures on the ECB site to back you up. After this Series we play South Africa 3 times up to 2020 and Australia three times. 2015 home, 2019 home and 2017/18 over there. My cynicism has no grounds. I must have mixed my money greed theory up with South Africa...

Maybe but we could have played South Africa. The Ashes are a big money spinner but as Boycott said about the multiple Australian games, 'I like my Mum's steak and kidney pudding but if I had to eat it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I'm not so sure' or...

18 months, actually. This is where I am negative. The Ashes produces more money. Playing South Africa does not produce money. South Africa are worlds number 1. But contrary to your statement the next Ashes in England is 2015 Ashes venues are Lord's, Trent Bridge, Cardiff, Edgbaston and The Oval...

I like your fighting spirit. Mitch is 6'4" 96kg and would weigh even more with a brain. You will be doing the country a service , if you nail him! I will definitely be watching this on TV. Be wary of the first punch coming in a low, swingy action from the side of his body. He will be Southpaw...

They weren't crap in particular but had lost their team to Kerry Packer's World Series.

We play them in Feb 2015 in first round of first 5 day World Cup with 14 teams competing. Not the Ashes but in Melbourne. I can't find any info on England fixtures after the West Indies next winter. Anyone know? I know we played these 10 consecutive ashes tests purely for money and if Australia...

Australia were 69-5 on the First Day before the old Mitchell Johnson had one of his, for then, rare good Tests with first bat then ball . This year he is due a bad Test. Hull beat Liverpool last week for the first time ever.

Fair Dinkum, mate, you speak the truth. The focus has to be on winning at Perth and nothing else. It can definitely happen. The only slight quibble I have is that the Perth wind is a Freemantle wind, hence it's name 'The Freemantle Doctor'. No post mortem till after Perth. Cook may yet become...

I agree with that but isn't Finn more likely to hurt his knuckles on the bails as bowls. Oh no, I'm becoming negative....

If anyone bats for 2 days at the WACA they should get a knighthood. English or Australian. I am prepared to give him a knighthood, if he can at least win a toss..

I am now £400 down betting on England so have wagered on Siddle being top Aussie bowler at 12-1 to recoup or add to my losses. The price for us to win the Series is a miserable 33-1 so that's not for me and it's only 11/4 for us to win at the WACA for the first time, excepting the Packer Ashes...

Just our luck get ourselves into a winning position and it looks like rain may help Australia salvage a draw.

Even I would not bet on both getting double hundreds. We would have a score in excess of 600. I will bet on us winning in Perth and I find it interesting that a draw tonight is only 11/2 best price but won't take it. I did see Swann and Broad smash a number of runs against Australia at...

Bell let us down badly today. As the only batter at the top of his game we really needed a triple century from him leaving Monty in the position tomorrow afternoon of driving the ball back past Johnson for a 4 and a 1 wicket victory. Now we have to rely on Broad and Prior providing a...

You could ask him to sign it. Perhaps hiding the wording until duly signed. Depends how big you are really or how fast you can run.

His mum will open the batting with a stick of rhubarb and the ashes will be retained.

Bell certainly was in command and played some great shots of Johnson. Will be interesting to see how he fares if pushed up to 3 for 2nd innings. Car berry deserves praise as well. As for the rest of them......

Unfortunately one of the nights highlights. Incredible and in line. The best moments were Broad getting the sight screen sorted out for ages before losing his stumps first ball and putting Mitch on the hat trick. I fear I have to lose all optimism now or I will sound like a Californian. Hang on...

There is a way back. 2-2 or 3-2 series win.

Spending 200+ days in hotels year after year with cheeky, chappy Swann could be enough to lead to a collective loss in form. My own positivity is based upon several traits; sarcasm, irony, facetiousness, foolishness, WUM, hope and glory. As to lost causes, after the 5-0 thrashing I witnessed...
