The Ashes - An Update!

The Ashes got off to a terrific start yesterday...England managed to bowl out the Aussies for 190, with Harmison capturing 5 wickets. But then, the English batsmen struggled against a fired up McGrath who retaliated with a quick 5-wicket haul. As I write this post, England are all out for 155, Kevin Pieterson the only player to make a respectable score.

I feel Aussies have an edge in the mind-games and have always tried to intimidate other teams. England do have some good players but unless they are able to match the Aussies in their mental strength, it is going to be tough to beat them and reclaim the Ashes.
