The Ashes - Who will win the first test in Brisbane?
It's about to kick off, what would have to be the most eagerly anticipated Ashes series since ... the last one!

I'm keen to make some money back that I lost in the last series and would dearly love to Ricky Ponting holding the small urn aloft! Come on Punter!

Who do you reckon will win and why?

Don't forget to vote in the poll! Who is going to win the first test?

Of course I think Australia will win I don't think Eng are the settled team in form that they were at the start of the last series. Too many injuries to key players and a run of poor form. On the other side, Aus have dominated every test series they've played in since and have just won the ICC champions trophy so confidence is high. Not to mention the fact that they are stinging still over losing the series last time. With Warne coming back into the fold and looking to take his 700th test wicket in the series I'm really looking forward to it.

What are the chances that if Freddie wins the toss Eng will have a bat?!

Sadly I reckon Aus will come out on top, you never know though!
Did you hear that the Barmy Army has worked out it can get tickets to games by joining the Aus Cricket Association as Australia supporters?

Sadly I can't see England repeating the heroics of last summer.. I suspect it might be a bit of a one-sided series
