I categorically disagree with Warne,,i dont think its " the most anticipating series for a long time" as Warne put it. The Indians tour of Pakistan was far more highly anticipated than this. Its perhaps exciting for England as after such a looooong time they have some hope to win the series (although i think its not gonna happen anyways). Chances r, most likely they will get beaten by Australia anyways. It has been happening for quite some time. By the way rob,,when was the last time England won Ashes? If i m not wrong then its 1986-87 series. Since then they have played 44 test matches between each other in Ashes and guess what? Out of those 9 were drawn and TWENTY EIGHT of them were won by Australia, u go and figure how many were won by England.
