For most people, including my fine self, the only time I take a keen interest in cricket (which incidently is leading our current poll which asks you the readers 'Which is the most boring sport to watch?') is when The Ashes arrives.
In case you don't know what The Ashes is, here is a very brief explination. Australia and England play each other in five test matches (each of which is scheduled to last five days) and the side who wins the more test matches wins The Ashes. It's a simple as that.
It can be rather boring and when I say boring, I mean there's a fair chance you'll fall asleep watching it. But, when it gets down to the last day or two of each test and if it's close in anyway, it really can get quite exciting.
The 2010/2011 Ashes Series gets underway in just under two weeks time in beautitful Brisbane. Australia go into the series as odds-on favourites, but there is a growing belief that England can defeat the Aussies on their own patch for the first time since 1987.
If you're not a cricket fan at all, just watch this clip (with the sound on)!
Don't think I could sit throught the whole Ashes series either.
ReplyDeleteGreat song in fairness though, thanks for brining it to my attention.
I would have to agree with you Frankie. I think I'll only be tuning in as it starts to get interesting!
ReplyDeleteAnd no problem at all, it's a serious tune.
