there's also the Saffas, still ahead of us in the rankings, aren't they?

Congratulations also due to England's travelling fans who help keep home associations in profit for Test series, support the team and ensure that home teams are never truly playing in a home atmosphere.
And bollocks to those on here and elsewhere who whinge about them. They're great

Not random, supposed to mirror his interested disinterest. Not needed. There's proper discussion going on.

shoulda said 'times like this' btw, and i only mean so we can enjoy their misery.....
Do you remember when Pietersen got that double century against them! In Adelaide, of all places?!
I note that the Australian press is speculating on Haddin batting six in Perth to accommodate an extra bowler. This is what happens when teams become desperate, they imagine extra bowlers will somehow conjure up more wickets
Expect result pitches now they need them. Of course, result pitches mean that the better side is more likely to win. That's England by the way

except Sydney has always been the one most suited for the spinners and we have the greatest living Englishman, Graeme Swann, for that. I really hope we break them completely, after Adelaide I want 4-0. Do what they did to us for so many years - boot on throat and kick them repeatedly in the bollocks until the very end. Then smile, shake hands and go home with the Ashes. No pity, no let up, no 'oh isn't it a shame they're not what they were'. Just keep kicking them when they're down.
The hubris!
I've been watching England too long to rest on any Laurels. I won't turn on the supporter cruise control unless we win in Perth by a margin
hubris my arse, it's the evidence of two Tests and the last six months of Australian cricket.

100% this.
oh and supporter hubris is OK because the team and coaching staff are not suffering from it. Which is why, as the better side, we will win comfortably. Because they won't rest on their laurels and there's enough of them who were part of the 5-0 to want hefty revenge and know how to exact it now.

There is no love between us anymore.
You think the country that produced Waugh, Warne, Border, Lillee, Bradman, McGrath and the list goes on is a spent force?
The Aussies get bigger crowds for tests in places like Sydney than any premiership team.

given that you can only fit 46,000 into the SCG and man united (among others) regularly get crowds in excess of 50, 60, 70k+, i think you might be wrong on that one

I think we should bring in Micheal Klinger for Katitch and Steve Smith for Doherty.Couple of names for you to look up.

Hey, Dean Yager!
Shane's being cheeky in the British press today saying 'he's flattered' to be mentioned as a returner, he wants Michael Beer though. Or possibly just wants a beer.
