Euler, no Ashes blog?
Its the greatest rivalry in the history of the modern world.
Go Aussies.
I still remember staying up late on university holidays watching all the 1989 series, wondering if Steve Waugh would ever be dismissed during the series.
My love of cricket has wained over the last ten years, not just because Australia's performances have wained. I love test match cricket but can't get excited about anything else anymore.
Viva the Ashes.

The general feeling, is that this is the worst Aussie bowling line up for ages, and they will struggle to take 20 wickets each match
We've read that out here. Same was said in 89.
In my view, Australia's issues are not in the taking of the 20 wickets. It is the Aussie batting that has been brittle.
.....
I also have no experience in trading cricket. But will gather data.
Already one of those great games where no matter what your strategy you could already be green.
You could have laid the favourite England at the outset under 2 and watched it drift to 3 once Trott got out and they drifted away. Or, you could have back England and still green out now once they cleaned Australia up or even early on once Trott got going.
Still lots of twists and turns to come, in my view.
Australia batts very deep and if the sun shines today it won't surprise that Australia end up with a small first innings lead.

I know Mark Iverson trades a lot of cricket - think he still has a blog and know he is on Twitter so probably worth a follow. He posts on the this forum at times as well.
Can any one remember the old Betfair website (it was rubbish imo) when they had the blog about the guy who traded Cricket to pay for his wedding on the landing page. It was one of the things that got me into trading and I used to love to read it.
Oh how times have changed at Betfair!
