2.5 months. I am sure some players will be homesick from the Australian camp. Injuries can determine the series. Watson - Flintoff. Two key players for each team.

The Ashes starts in 9 days. Always like a battle between this 2 country even though Aussies have always won in my recent memories. In 2005 they got beaten by good English side, in reply Aussies hit them hard with 5-0 white wash. Who will win this year. I think Australia may do it. Key man for them is Mitchel Johnson, he will tear apart English top order. What do you think.

Gosh this series is long. It will be nearly Eid when they will finish this tour.

Aus:
It is the batting of MJ and Lee that may save Australia. Huges will be tested. I don't think he is still ready. North definitely is not ready although he has played good in English condition previously. Ponting needs to start hitting centuries or else he will lose his captaincy to Clarke.

Eng:
Piaj, pash'er tola can provide enough support to Anderson-Flintoff. Where is Mahmood? I like Swaan. Much better than Rajesh's darling SLA Ponir mia. Strauss should lead by example.

I want England and Ponting (individually) to fail.

Its a shame because was it not for those other countries playing cricket, this could have been a 7 test, 5 T20 and 10 ODI series.

Yeah why not play 20 test and call it the "World Cup Test". Selfish buggers (pom and oz)

I think MJ will lose his MoJo in this series. He will be proven incapable of continuing the great lineage of pacemen that came out from the down under. Cook, Prior and Pietersen will hammer him humbly, gently, cautiously and perfectly.

This Ashes will be the rise of England from the recent woes. Sidebottom and Panesar will rip through the weak(do I dare) Aussie line-up.

MUHAAHAAA

[Sohel]

Really looking forward to this.

GO AUSTRALIA!

[BD-Shardul]

Michael Vaughn retired from all sorts of cricket today. He was a good captain, but like many great captains he couldn't make a recovery from the bad patch once entered. Hats off to Vaughn for all that he has achieved.



When Vaighn was 16. He was so beautiful.

[Rifat]

England all the way!

[Rabz]

Even though i'd root for the Aussies, i think the English have a very good chance of reclaiming the Ashes this year.

While the Aussies are still in the rebuilding phase and might struggle, the English have a good compact side.

Go the Aussies.

And the wheels are falling off already. Way to go Freddy leading the way as usual.

If a boy is cute or handsome, and if I say or admire it, does it mean that I am a gay?

welcome to the americanized world. where if some americans catch a bunch of bengali brothers playing karam outside with their lungis on then we are labeled as gay though we know we are perfectly straight.

in fact wearing lungi in America i got criticized by a bengali brother of being "backward/gay"

i hate the double standards... in US sometimes...

it is just cultural difference.

Bhai, never write it in that way. That's like accident waiting to happen. Orphy will pounce upon you like a cheetah on a gnu....

Shuru hoise, somehow bring Freddie to limelight.
Did other 12 members hit the pub, go for a brawl or went for gambling - nobody knows.

Same thing with Shane Warne. Some people just cannot stop being attraction seeker.
Once they get it paparazzis are ready for the next.

By-product: more hits on the site, more ads, more question brewing one after another.

Shardul, i dont think thats what Mijan bhai meant.
Usually the terminology ".... so beautiful" is associated with females, not with males.
Males are being described as good looking, cute, handsome.
Eg, Michael Vaughn at 16. He was a good looking man. (male expression)
Michael Vaughn at 16. He was such a cutie (female expression).

Sorry, this is not an english class. Its just that hearing a man describing another man "...so beautiful" is unusual to read. It does not mean you are gay. It just means that we are not programmed to read it like that. Thats all.

[ialbd]

Aussies will win all the poll that says "Who will win this year Ashes" for the next 10 years atleast....
but I think the english has it in them to give a good fight.

I used to follow ashes (only by live score-card though) but for some reason not feeling doing it at all this year. too much t20 drama ??

Thanx for your talim

[Sohel]

Mahmud is butt ugly even for a caveman!

Anyway, I know a local sports journalist who calls Vaughan "Bhogan" and not jokingly. He's also on record for calling Hussey "Who-Say".

[Sovik]

we don't have star cricket in sirajgonj. so won't be able to watch

[nycpro96]

Aussies are gonna probably win.
