Advantages: Bar managers get your barrels full - Flintoffs in town
Disadvantages: Just for a pot of ashes

...yourself 127 years onwards, and England and Australia contest the ashes; which is an urn about 6 inches tall, and weighs several grams. Not much to look at unless you're an undertaker. Flintoff, Oval to you O 111 My favourite phrase for watching the ashes this year is 'You muppet!' and that's while viewing England's one and only victory against the Aussies this Summer. - Now that the ...
...as the efforts of the England players were beyond woeful and I'm being generous. It all seemed to go wrong when the Prime Minister Gordon Brown was asked what he intends to do while on holiday; and he mincingly replied 'watching the cricket and tennis'. - Alarm bells shrilled out then, his aura of doom would transcend upon any hope of regaining that urn. I did pray for rain, I must confess; and there it appeared. - Brown, could have been giving helpful ... Read review

Not only that on papers it is one of the best teams in the world consisting of probably the biggest of the names of World cricket. But when it comes to on field performances, barring a few occasions, the team has not lived up to its expectations. It is really one of the most hyped teams in the world just like the England ...
...won a team in most of the matches. It is the team effort that finally does for a team and this is the only thing that can win matches. Even though Indian team has a lot of big names but the team effort is certainly lacking and this is the only reason that despite of having big names in the list, it is not able to live up to the expectations. ...

Advantages: Still the top team in the world
Disadvantages: Some weaknesses

"Bad luck you Aussies!!" I'm sure those words would have left Geoff Boycott's lips at some point over the last 5 days...but how they made England panic last night. Yes, England have gone 1-0 up after winning the second test at Lord's, but somewhere at the back of even the most optimistic of minds, they will be that nagging doubt that the Australians could easily come back and winning two of the next three tests and retain the Ashes. Damn them all! ...
...lost during the 2005 Ashes series, and very different to the team which thrashed us, and that's an understatement, 5 - 0 during the 2006/07 tour. Ponting still captains the team, but many critics say his team was adopted from Steve Waugh, with the likes of Warne, McGrath, Hayden, Gilchrist, Langer, Martyn, Gillespie all left overs from the team which began dominating world cricket over a decade ago.

...Pro40 games to see the Surrey (Brown Caps) about £12. The first ever tour to England that involved a test here was by an Australian Aboriginal team back in 1868, even then the South London ground expressing its cosmopolitan attitude and credentials. In fact documents show that a game called 'creckett' was played there 500 years ago. For me it's our number one ground now, the increasingly stuffy and expensive Lords cricketing experience well down ... Read review
