The Ashes 2013 Thread

OK will Australia get a win this series or will the Poms prevail?

Australia with it all to play for and England looking the form side out of the two.

Boycott has some interesting things to say: http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/...709-2pn79.html

I for one will be getting little sleep over the next 6 days as the 1st Test kicks off tomorrow night our time.

Best of luck to both sides.

Gentlemen, raise your glasses for the Ashes series 2013!

Your a braver man than me starting this thread :)

Interesting. Not sure how that will happen as there are only 5 matches scheduled. How many fingers do you have on each hand?

I sent him a green and gold supporters cap so he could skite with his Indian mates.

So, I forget, is this (the Ashes) British-Aussie thing or is it the whole world of cricket?

...cuz you know who will dominate...

Steven Finn will be England's third fast bowler in the first Ashes Test with Australia at Trent Bridge, with the tourists springing a major surprise by picking little-known spinner Ashton Agar.
The Middlesex fast bowler got the nod ahead of Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan but he will have to wait for his chance to shine - England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and chose to bat.
Australia meanwhile sprung a major selection surprise by picking left-arm spinner Agar.
Agar, just 19, has played just 10 first-class matches - the first in Janaury this year - but he will make his Test debut at Trent Bridge.
He played in Australia's last warm-up match against Worcestershire, returning modest figures of 2-79 off 23 overs and 1-86 off 27 in the second innings.
Agar, 6'4" has played for the Australia U19 and U20 sides, and he plays his domestic cricket for Western Australia.
He was a surprise inclusion in the squad, but few expected him to be named in the starting XI.

England currently 27-0

Correction 27-1 :D

Pah! early days :stare:

The Agar selection is definitely a surprise. Not seen much of his work and a big ask to debut in the 1st Test. Good luck to him hope he gets a bowl and knocks a few wickets over.

That's probably part of the selection justification...the fact he has no form to study and will be offering something unexpected and different.
