Having being left out the ODI matches against Pakistan to play 4 day cricket for his new County Surrey, can Kevin Pietersen rediscover his form of 2005 and help England retain the ashes.

Elliot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:21:08 +0000

Ricky Ponting is a key player for Australia as he is the Captain and most experienced batsman in the line up, however he has a big point to prove after some recent lackluster performances.

Fifth Test: Sydney

Elliot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:18:02 +0000

After 5 hard fought test matches the winner of the Ashes 2010/11 will be decided at the Sydney SCG. Will England retain the ashes for the first time down under since 1986/87 series or will Australia dominate in Australia again?

Fourth Test: Melbourne

Elliot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:17:01 +0000

Will Australia’s dominance in the Boxing day test match continue or can England turn the screws to gain an all important win going into the final test? England lost by an innings and 99 runs in the 2006/07 ashes series…

Third Test: Perth

Elliot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:15:42 +0000

The test series reaches the midway point in Perth but will we be any closer to finding out who’s going to win the 2010/11 ashes series? One thing’s for sure England and Australia never shy away from a battle.

Second Test: Adelaide

Elliot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:14:21 +0000

Last time around at the Adelaide England compiled a massive score of 551 – 6 declared only to be skittled out for a measly 129 in the second innings. Will England find some consistency this time around?

First Test: Brisbane

Elliot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:06:22 +0000

Brisbane plays host to the opening test of the 2010/11 ashes series. Both sides will be hoping to get off to a good start in this vital test match. Who can gain the upper hand going into the second test?

Back and better than ever…

Elliot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:53:13 +0000

That’s right, the ashes cricket live, is back! What more its bigger and better than the ashes in 2009 when England held on for an incredible draw at Cardiff and then played out their skins to earn a credible draw at the Oval to regain the ashes.

However England now go down under in attempt to retain the ashes, something they have failed to do since 19xx. With inexperienced Australian team and an in form England line up could this be the year?
