England Under 17's exit the U17 World Cup at the last 16. That's a respectable performance. Think its another good group of players who will keep developing. They get to go again at the Under 19's next season so that's something to aim for.

A great year for England Under 21's ends with a win 4-0 in Slovakia. They are halfway through their qualifying campaign and so far have a perfect record...

England's team for the first test with the last place between Wood/Bashir I did wonder if Jacks would be in the reckoning as he could've contributed some runs but they haven't gone that way...

Australia are definitely weakened with no Hazlewood or Cummins for the 1st Test yet they are still small favourites. The toss is huge on Friday as win it & bat first seems to be the winning formula. Stokes likes to chase but will he do so if he wins the coin flip?

At least this Ashes series England have picked a bowling attack that could cause Australia problems. Having Josh Tongue in reserve for the last 4 tests when either Wood/Archer won't play gives them some depth even if they get injuries...

Also, I keeping wondering about the age of the Australia team with nearly all of them being 30+ Could this series just be too much for some players, especially if England's bazball works and they come under pressure from their home media...

In the end, we don't know who will win the this Ashes. I do think England will win at least a Test though. If they can sneak 3 wins that'll do even better!

England lose in Perth. This England can't draw a Test for love nor money. So they either have to find a miracle win in Brisbane or its all over if it isn't already after 2 days of the series...
