Right then guys, I thought it was time to start an Ashes thread as we are only a week away from the sporting highlight of 2013.
According to the English press, we are clear favourites but with the Australians amending their management structure and a typical never say die attitude this could be a close series. However I can see England retaining the urn 2-0 in a weather interrupted series.
I’m looking forward to seeing Warner bat and the reception he will receive from the England fans.
