    Hi friends, I am a cricket maniac and I am really excited about the forthcoming Test series between the host England and the visitors Australia. They will be seen in action in later half of July for the most prestigious The Ashes Trophy, 2005. England will be playing for glory and Australia will be playing to defend the trophy as they are doing it for the last 9 years. This time English players like Kevin Peterson, Harmison & Andrew Flintoff will be heavy for Australia. Last night I came across a very good site named http://cricket.123india.com from where I got the latest informations about The Ashes Series 2005.Looking towards the past, bowling department of the teams will be the playing factor. Now let’s see which side makes the race.

    Cricket is one thing I never understood. The score is always 23423-1 or somthing similar. :confused:

    Welcome to DP, arijitbarman
    Can you explain cricket to someone that has no clue even after watching it a couple of times.

    Given that the ICC is morally bankrupt I won't be supporting any game of cricket organised under their auspices anytime soon - and don't worry, it will be plastered all over our TV screens too!

    I was appalled this summer when they wouldn't let the Sri Lankan team return home and I'm appalled that they won't allow the reprehensible political situation in Zimbabwe be reason enough to cancel the upcoming NZ tour.

    In both cases the penalty was many millions of dollars. It's disgusting that such vast amounts of money should be used to force people to act against their better judgement. Because Cricket is a team sport and the team bond is very strong it's very hard for each man (in this case) to step away from the team and opt out, knowing the consequences won't be borne by him alone, but by the team and the grass roots cricketing community.
