The Ashes

So the Ashes start today in Cardiff for the first time. Andy Flintoff in and Brett Lee out - England getting through to the Semi finals of the Twenty 20 world cup whilst Australia going out before the super 8 round - is any of this significant or does it make no difference to the Ashes as this is one of the longest standing international competitions within the cricketing calendar.

The guess the most important question is - do we have the squad and belief to beet the Auzies, what do you think?............
