Roo, I think its not clear enough in,



fantasy 11 for both Aus and Eng?

You mean a team with either full of English players or full of Aussie players for you to play the game or similar to the fantasy cricket like 4 bowlers 4 batsmen 2 AR and 1 WK? Atleast, I am not clear! Can you elaborate it?

The presentation is nice as always.

Yeah mate, take a look at what Shan said. I want you to post your starting XI for both Australia and England in which you think they'll start the first Test match

Excitment is brewing in England, as the Ashes Series is just 24 hours away from beginning. Two of the world's greatest cricketing clubs will be here in England, battling it out for the greatest Cricket prize on show, the Ashes. Australia and England will battle it out tomorrow when the first Test starts! What will happen in this Ashes series, what surprises are we in for this year? Can the Poms win on their home turf and take back the Urn, or will the Australian's keep their dignity, and take the urn back home to Australia. Stay tuned into channel 9 tomorrow, for all the action:happy:happy:happy

This is where it'll all begin at 11pm tomorrow morning. Lord's stadium will be packed to the roof with England/Australian fans. The most talked about Ashes series so far in it's history, and it's promising to be a big one. A lot of talk around town and back home in Australia about this Ashes series and how close it'll be on show. But here, at Lord's anything can happen. Remember the 2005 nPower Ashes Series? Or remember that happened when the Aussies farewelled some of their Champions?
A 5 nill whitewash to the Aussies that saw, Warne, Langer, McGrath and Gilchrist all leave Test cricket, that's what set up the win for the Aussies, as they wanted to give their champions one last bout before they left the Test cricket arena.

But without those blokes now, it's a completely new looking Australia force. Players like, Adam Voges, Ben Hilfenhaus, Peter Siddle have stepped into the Australia line-up, and have earned their call from the selectors to be apart of this Aussie teamed the arrived in England 2 weeks ago. Now, tomorrow, they face their challenge. The teams will be announced later tonight for the up-coming Test Match which is scheduled for 11am tomorrow morning, brought to you by channel 9, who have been wonderful broadcasters for the past Ashes series, and with some good help from the technology department, we are sure to see some wonderful graphics come into this Ashes series.

So please, everybody, take one last breath. Because, it's about to begin!!!

If it's not too late:

AUS

S Katich
S Marsh
R Ponting
M Clarke
M Hussey
S Watson
B Haddin
M Johnson
B Hilfenhaus
P Siddle
D Bollinger


They really don't have any good spinners, do they! I think Katich and Clarke between them will be better than someone average like Cameron White or Adam Voges.

ENG

A Cook
A Strauss
R Bopara
I Bell
K Pietersen
P Collingwood
A Flintoff
M Prior
S Broad
G Swann
J Anderson

They look a better squad to me- their batting should be almost as good as Australia's, and if their bowlers bowl well they are better bowlers, bar Mitchell Johnson.

This should be a great contest
