Ashes to Ashes
I was waiting for it. I knew it was on the horizon.
The first murmurings of Englands potential to beat the Aussies in the Ashes next year have started. Every time we win a few tests then the question is posed: 'can England win the Ashes?'.
England are a very good team, of that there is no doubt, and they are doing very well. The level of opposition can be questioned but you can only beat whats put in front of you. But Australia are a different matter entirely, they attack you on so many different levels: psychologically, physically, etc. You have to have your wits about you and be totally on top of your game to just escape with a thrashing. It's no time for specualting.
The Aussies were probably waiting for the Poms rhetoric about beating them and are no doubt sat at home cracking open a few tinnies, having a good old laugh about it and waiting for the opportunity to make us eat our words. Cobber.

Watski mate, a new blog? Twice the work though, I found it hard to update Chelseaboy, although to be fair there wasn't a lot to write about in the close season. Anyway, its the same thing with every footie competition as well. England qualify, play a few friendlies and then the "..can England win it" shite starts with ex-World Cup winners being wheeled out, Franz Beckenbauer being asked the same, current world megastars commenting on how good we are, when tyhe truth is we all really know that England, in all sports, 99% of the time are Chokers. Examples.....England in Euro 2004, England Rugby down under (yes I know we're restructuring but then the press should just shut up and stop thinking that as World Champs we are invincible). England during last Ashes, Tim Henman (every single event), Paula Radcliffe (2 Olympics on the trot). Hats off to those who have won a GM this time though.
Cheers, Jack (about to nod off...thanks US Air!)
Yes mate. Thanks for looking.
I'd just got lots of sports related posts going round my head that weren't really fitting in with the clientele of the other blog, so I thought Id double my workload and try it out.
