Tomorrow morning, at about 7.30am Perth local time, it starts. The bloodbath in Brisbane is the opening round of the 2006/2007 Ashes, and it’s going to be something. There’s a lot of talk about how the series will progress, who will win how many Tests and so on. I might be wrong, but I think it’s going to be short and brutal for the POMS. I’m not sure five zip is possible, but I’d expect 4-nil as a possible outcome. I do wonder if any of the games will go to four days. I think by 5pm on Thursday we’ll have a pretty good idea of how the summer might unfold.
Yeah, yeah.
All I’ve been hearing from Aussies is “blah blah blah”. All talk.
;-)
Yeah but the poms have brought a poet with them! That’s got to count for something. At least they’ll go down rhyming.
In twenty five minutes we’ll start to see some of the answers. Australia have won the toss and will bat. If it’s like the last time we played England at the Gabba we’re in for a good day.
