Australia v England, 2nd Test, 4th December 0400


Speaking to a few Aussies at work who do my role over there.

Both great lads and we’re excited for the ashes don’t get me wrong, but sounded sincerer when they said that they kinda prefer the BGT with India now.

They appreciate the history etc etc. but said it’s way more competitive.

Not the type of lads to try and be on the wind up, if anything they sounded gutted that’s the way it’s went
Yeah my distant family who are Aussies say the same.

It’s a different story when we play them here though. Just no contest in Oz

02-03 - lost 4-1
06-07 - lost 5-0
10-11 - won 3-1
13-14 - lost 5-0
17-18 - lost 4-0
21-22 - lost 4-0
25-26 - losing 2-0

Horrific

I think it's like obsessing over a lass you like with the ECB and the Ashes, they are so preoccupied with winning them, they overthink it way too much.. One series at a time.
