The Ashes is shaping up to be a close contest now both teams have sunk to similar levels of mediocrity. Casts the blank Caps / W Indies series in a new light now doesn't it?

part of England's cricketing inadequacies are directly derived from their Ashes centricity.

The fellows are having their undergarments ripped off in jamaica and the chaps can only think of Ashes? Astounding!
