    It's been hard to split England and Australia this year, why judging who would win The Ashes 'Down Under' has been so tricky, none the wiser after three exciting tests. I went for 1-1 before it started and so England retaining the Ashes - nobody accept the Aussies were going for another 5-0, the disaster the drunkard Flintoff inflicted on England as captain the last time we were out there. Without Warne, McGrath and Hayden in recent series the Aussies have been vulnerable and were beaten at home by South Africa and again in India and, of course, by England in our home Ashes win in 2009 ... more

    Advantages Advantages Barmaids Down Under Are The Best In The Business

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sheilas Unfortunately Are Allergic To Me

    ORIGINALLY WRITTEN March 2001 In the week in which Australia lost an epic test series 2-1 to India I thought that it would be the right time to write an opinion about Australian cricket. It has been a few weeks since the great Sir Donald Bradman passed away. He was the greatest batsman of all time. As a child he used to practise by hitting a golf ball with a single stump. His test average of 99.96 will never be surpassed. His feats would have been even more impressive but for the Second World War. After retirement he became chairman of the Australian selectors. The 1948 touring team to England ... more

    Advantages Advantages An age old tradition in cricket, England have got their best chance of victory in many years, it will be great viewing whatever the outcome, I'm going!!!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The Aussies still look good for victory, The English weather may pay too big a part.

    Updated below (expect regular updates on this one) Okay then, firstly DON'T SHOUT AT ME. I know technically this is not an opinion on The Australian cricket side (well not entirely anyway) but is an opinion on the Ashes series (in particular the one that has just begun). I'm just telling you this so you don't go rating me unhelpful just because there was no area on Ciao for an opinion of this nature (you can, however rate me unhelpful for the poor quality of the op.). So what are the Ashes then??? Well they are one of the oldest competitions in sport and the oldest in cricket. They are fought ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Superb in EVERY department, totally proffessional, never say die attitude

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Are you having a laugh, they have NO disadvantages, apart from they are not English

    Oh well, having slated England for getting a good old beating from Australia in the first test in my England opinion, and that followed by the further humiliation in the second test, to take them 2-0 up in the Ashes series and one their way to a complete white-wash, I thought it was only fair to write about their opponents Australia. Simply AWESOME, that’s what world champions Australia are, and possibly the BEST International Cricket team that has existed on the globe, EVER. So why are the Aussies so bloody good? Well, as well as being the most talented team around, they have a pure ... more

    5 Stars Ashes to Ashes, England to Dust 10/07/2001

    Advantages Advantages Awesome individuals, outstanding team.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Are there any????

    I am writing this opinion on the Australian cricket team (and a bit on the Ashes I suppose) a couple of days after Australia's crushing victory in the opening Ashes test. This result must have triggered the worst fears for English fans (or perhaps confirmed their predictions), for what is to come in the remaining tests. But for all cricket fans in general, it gave us all a hint of how one-sided this test series could turn out to be. The Australian cricket team has been getting better and better over the last couple of seasons, and up until the test series against India earlier this year, they ... more
