The Ashes Fever

The Ashes Fever has started from this week and well what a start to prove again that the contest is between the cricket's oldest rivalry.Wicket in the first over by Australia and then two gutsy fifties followed by a hat trick by Peter Siddle on his birthday.
The last season which happened in 2009 was a celebration for the English people though with an unfortunate departure of Flintoff from Test Cricket after that wonderful series for him. I don't think Engand is missing him anyway as they got a balanced team to give enough pressure to the underdog Aussies.
Unusually, Australians didn't ignite the verbal war before the start of this series. May be they are feeling the heat to face England with not much confidence and form among the players.What ever... Its time for England to retain the trophy and make punter to prepare his resume...
