Folks... after 4 years of drought, the Ashes battle is will begin once again on Thursday (I'll be camped in front of the TV for the rest of the summer).
I'm probably the only cricket nut in here but I'll poll on this one regardless.
Who do you think will win?

Cricket???? Isn't that the obnoxious little critter that makes those horrible noises?  |

Tell me about it, great last wicket stand though. Another great knock by Freddy. If we can get a lead of over 300, we might have a chance. |

James, there's no easy way to explain Cricket to be honest, I tried explaining the rules to my cousin yesterday and it took about half an hour, after which he was still very confused - evidence being when he saw the score 137-7 by Australia and thought they were doing well... 
Check out this site when you've got a spare few hours.
