The Ashes in Australia, 2013/2014.

[PGFC]

No commitments either, based on him checking in on GW regularly.

In a land with a billion possibilities too

[McNamara That Ghost...]

As one legend retired in India, another arrived.

[PGFC]

Meh, Letters is about a foot short of a legend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just an end then?

[LDG]

No, a dwarf.

No commitments either, based on him checking in on GW regularly.

I'll get mum to sign up as she's just got to Brisbaine and is going to the match

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time for the GW leaflets.

Damien Martyn has just tweeted a pic of the Gabba. Weather seems fine. Win the toss and bat obviously.

My predictions:

England to win 2-1.
Highest run scorer for the tournament - Michael Clarke.
Highest wicket taker - James Anderson
Surprise performer - Mitchell Johnson

KP's 100th test. Syn would like to take another annoying moment to congratulating himself on spotting Pietersen's talent when he was playing for Notts before he even played for England. England's best ever player? Dunno. Some of those pre war amateurs who had phenomenal records because only two countries ever played the game and the rest weren't rich enough to compete properly might get the plaudits instead.
But here's a nice accurate summary from Harminson:

Ex-England pace bowler Steve Harmison, who played alongside Pietersen in the 2005 and 2009 Ashes-winning sides, told BBC Sport: "Kevin is the best player ever to wear an England shirt."He's not the best English player to play for England because he's not English, he is South African, but he is the best player ever to wear an England shirt.


"He has changed the face of the game and the way people, especially young players coming into the game, view the game.


"English people have to be thankful that somebody like that has come along.
"I think he will set all the records for a short period of time before Alastair Cook beats them a little later after Pietersen retires."

Great tekkers and great innovator.

love the ashes. best sporting contest out there. this will be an endurance test though. think i might have to just cope with watching the first session everyday. should be a cracking series. Aussies to nick it by 1 though i think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Highest run scorer for the tournament -Cook.
Highest wicket taker - Harris. Brave shout given his legs might not hold out.
Surprise performer - Umpires. Getting most LBW's correct.
