First Ashes Test, Cardiff: England v Australia.

Date: 8-12 July.

BBC SPORT | Cricket | International Teams | Australia | Injured Lee to miss Ashes opener
BBC SPORT | Cricket | England | Pietersen wary of Aussie threat

There bowling attack is POOR without Brett Lee.

Who remembers the first ball of the last Ashes Series in England?

C'mon England.

There bowling attack is fairly poor with Brett Lee! Glad as it means Hauritz has to play and he is WANK. 150+ runs for 1 wicket at Hove is awful for a spinner.

I think I might be quite tired at work for the next few weeks now - not that I wasn't already with the tennis.

I will have a great time if it all falls our way. Bastard music teacher got all the kids to call out 51 to me after the test in the Windies

Yeah, aren't they doing FOUR anthems? The English (Jerusalem), the British (God Save The Queen), the Australian (Fair dinkum bonzer diggers) and the Welsh (Glwynn clwydd llynfn)

NOTE: I may have got the names of the Australian and the Welsh anthems wrong.

Not as far as I know. They were saying on the radio this morning it'll be the Welsh and Aussie anthems.

Stuart Clark & Mitchell Johnson are better than Stuart Broad & Jimmy Anderson. I really hope Onions plays

This may be a stupid question, but why are they playing an ENGLAND cricket match in Wales?

Don't speak too soon. On his day Mitchell Johnson can be a very good bowler (he didn't play against Sussex as he was guaranteed a place). Still I hope to be proved wrong.

Cos it's technically the England & Wales cricket board, and Welsh players play for England cos Wales is too shit to have it's own team

Whilst I'd agree that Clark and Johnson are all round better bowlers (only just though) they're not better in english conditions.

In 2 or 3 years Broad will be better than all of them.

The worlds gone mad.
An England Ashes series kicking off in Wales. And last year you had France hosting the Rugby World Cup and playing one of their games in....Cardiff.

Bonkers.
