LOL during the last ashes I was on an archaeological dig in Wiltshire, there were was me (an angloscot) and an Australian girl who weren't fully supporting England. I saw a bit of it at a mates house today (I don't own a tv), and Australia were doing very well. I don't expect England to do well, British teams don't do well against teams from the Southern Hemisphere when not on home turf (be it cricket, rugby union etc). I just hope it is as entertaining as the last series, as it got many new people into the sport.
