Ashes 2009 Now Firmly on the Horizon



Australia is now in the country and it is now just a month until the Ashes 2009 begins.

Hopefully it will be a lot closer to the stumps then Stephen Harmison's effort at the Gabba. That was nearly two years ago and he still probably gets reminded about it every day.



England got beaten at Lords by the Netherlands, but in… Continue

More tennis from Queens.

More cricket. England play South Africa at 5.00pm. Super 8 game so should be good.

Mrs. G home about 8.30pm, so I need to find something to entertain me.

I need some inspiration.

Bit of sun out there so that might help.

Comments. Mini-blogs. Events. Forum discussions. Some of you must have something to say. I need inspiring and I am looking at YOU to help me out.

Many Thanks.

It's difficult to get going after watching England humilated by part-timers "The Netherlands" in the 2020 World Cup.

It is always rubbish when the home nation dissapoints. Doubly so when it is England. It will take a lot of interest away domestically, and will have a negative impact on the betting markets. England have a hard job qualifying. The weather forecast is bad for Sunday, so the game against Pakistan may not even go ahead. We shall see.



Todays Sport.
