“England versus Australia – first Test, first day, first over.  The ground is hushed and all eyes are on the bowler running in to deliver the first ball.  Who has not felt the anticipation and excitement of that moment when another series between Test cricket’s oldest adversaries gets under way?
The battle for the Ashes is not only one of the oldest, but also certainly one of the greatest sporting contests in the world.  Whatever their current strengths and standing, nothing stirs the blood like the clashes between the Poms and the rivals from ‘Down Under’.”
