the simple question is: will England finally win the ashes?

the answer: of course not :P

I'll answer on behalf of those of the UK. Of course they won't win, they never do.

If bangladesh had been playing Zimbabwe then i would of expected them to win comfortably, but australia! world no1! Think there must be some problems inside the australian camp! i read symonds is being sent home, in british press says for drinking, is that what the aussie meadia say to?
