2006/07 Ashes Excitement

[Turbanation]

I don't even know why there is any excitement, its ages away yet!

Well the barmy army don't think its ages away. They have already booked out hotels in adelaide and also applying for waca memberships.

i don`t think it can match the intensity of an Indo-Pak contest though !
Why are the Barmyarmy so eager to see the Ashes going back to Australia ! Strated making their arrangements way too early !

But the Indo-Pak match is religious and territorial. The Ashes aren't.

The schedule has been announced and the 06/07 summer is probably going to be the best summer in Australia for over a decade. NZ will also be coming over to play the VB series which will be very competitve with all 3 teams who have the potential to win the world cup. Perhaps it may be a NZ and England final of the VB series just like a few years back when the Saffas and NZ were in the finals. The schedule can be found here: http://cricket.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=35970

Also interesting to hear that there is already an anticipated 7000 people from England will be coming down under and could even potentially reach 40,000. Here are some articles:

Well,back on our soil now.It will be an interesting series,especially if the Aussie team stays the way it is.It will be a very good performance by England if they can pull off a series draw.

I wonder what the mood of the players and fans will be like if England beat the aussies in thier own backyard in 06/07. I might go thier to watch a few matches. But is still a long long way till that series.......I'm exiceted about Ind vs Pak, Fifa world cup and Champions throphy 2006.
