Just under 2 hours until the first Test in Cardiff.

Australia squad
MJ Clarke*, SPD Smith, Fawad Ahmed, BJ Haddin†, JR Hazlewood, MG Johnson, NM Lyon, MR Marsh, SE Marsh,PM Nevill†, CJL Rogers, PM Siddle, MA Starc, AC Voges, DA Warner, SR Watson



England Squad
AN Cook*, MM Ali, JM Anderson, GS Ballance, IR Bell, SCJ Broad, JC Buttler†, ST Finn, A Lyth, AU Rashid, JE Root,BA Stokes, MA Wood


Steve Waugh was captain last time the Aussies prevailed over there; winning this series would be a fine way to end Clarkie's career. How many Poms will MJ send to hospital? How many times will Stuart Broad, James "the flog" Anderson and Joe "Ellen" Root rile up the Aussies? Will Steve Smith get out at all?

Prediction- Australia 2-1

Get hyped y'all!

Also get more pumped for the ashes than any other series. Will be especially sweet given the drought over there.

Also love how in cricket we get full initials for a player! DK Lillee... fairly unique to the sport, love it!

Counting down to bouncedown... kick off... ball up or....?
 
Umpires are: Erasmus and Dharmasena.

Don't trust 'em.

Erasmus is that roly poly South African who wasn't good enough to play Test Cricket. Inferior South African who will obviously have a bias against elite Aussie players.

Dharmasena will still be smarting after that Test Match in Galle (March 2004). Boof Lehmann scored 63 & 129. Dharmasena scored 6 & 0 and took 2/52 and 0/100 (one of 4 career centuries - unfortunately all with the ball). He never played Test cricket again. Clearly he'll have it in for Boof.

As long as there is no Aleem Dar.

Final teams named yet?

At least the DRS gives you a sporting chance. Until Watto wastes one.

Erasmus has given us the Leigh Fisher treatment in previous series over there, despicable individual.
 
This is the moment I rue our current TV set up where I don't have FTA connected.

At least with the tennis C7 had a stream!

Here is hoping Johnson can swing the ball.
 
I always get more pumped for the England series for some reason.

Same - the Ashes in England is the pinnacle of cricket for me.

Did I hear Marsh has made two centuries on tour and still can't get a game? And people think RTB is bad!

Nice work Haze - that's why you want to make them play at the new ball even if it costs you a few.
