Ashes, needs no introduction to the cricket community, a war between Aus & Eng, a war between Bat & Ball, a war for nations pride for both Aus and Eng.
This year's Ashes has been so exciting, as always. In the 5 match series, its 1-1 and two test draws. So its the final for the Ashes 2009, and sheduled on 20-24 Aug 09 at the Oval, London.
We all know how exciting was this year's Ashes till now, and definitely will the last match. Both English and Aussies players are all set to fire the opponent and get their Ashes.
The first match drawn, but Punter showed that he is all set to get the trophy. This match was really a nail-biter, that last wicket of Eng made this an unforgetable end, although rain helped Eng a lot. Paul Collingwood played his part too.
The second test won by Eng, and this was a historic win as Eng won an ashes test first time at Lord's. Also, retirement announcement of Flintoff from test gathered news too. As a result he played exceptionally well and help Eng to lead by 1-0 and get the MOM.
In the third test, rain played superbly and almost washed the test and finally match was drawn.
In the fourth test, Ausssies came back strongly and allout Eng in just 33 overs with only 102 at the score board in first innings. Siddle was the hero with his 5/21 in just under 10 overs. This set the stage for Aussies to made 1-1. And they did it well by making this victory with huge margin. They won the match by an innings and 80 runs.
Now, this is the time, for both eng and aus to show up their strengths and powers. They are so exciting and so the viewers.
For me, i wish the best team win, but should be the most exciting match of the season.
Best of luck to both Aus and Eng. !!!
