australia doubt eight face fall good hopefully knock lost months series soon time
There would be some fall out if Australia lost the series 2-0, no doubt about that at all. (But) the more cutthroat or the more challenging or the more knock out it is, that's all good for us because we're going to face it in eight months time in the ICC (Champions Trophy) and soon after that hopefully in the World Cup.

ball bowling cricket few fraction moment people
Brett's one of the few people in world cricket at the moment that is bowling consistently at 150km/h. You only have to be a fraction out in your action and the ball could potentially go anywhere.

There's nothing better than an Ashes series. It's the old enemy and we are playing in the home of cricket where it all began. It's a highlight of everyone's involvement with Australian cricket.

We could have started this route at the beginning of the series and talked about it for a long period of time,
certainly either far fine innings point ready second seen talked view
From his point of view as far as I've seen and talked with Shane, he's fine and ready to go. I think he'll be ready either for the second part of this innings or certainly the second innings of England's.
agenda analysis certainly support talking time
I don't think now is the appropriate time to go through the analysis of individuals, support staff, training, etcetera, ... But all those things are on the agenda and we have certainly been talking about them.
