This time its a much composed team compared to last year's 5-0. Far more composed men with equal mix of young and experience. Australia have all the rights and reasons to win this ashes and I would like to put the "Goddamn five to nothing mate" pic of Aussie team in my Facebook cover DP.
Why Australia has to win this?
More than a rivalry war, it is a long time missing target for Australia to win a series in England. the last 3 teams travelled to England had returned back with defeats since 2005. There must be a milestone for that, though Clarke's army doesn't play for milestones, If I have to say it in Michael's voice, "Happy with the win, but it's never enough"! That's in the blood of Aussies, they keep their fight further and further, attacking the opponent with full swing of power. That's how this "Never say die" spirit came to them and, well, to me too.
No matter your openers fail, middle order fade, there will always be a fight be carried on from the tail enders. There is a hidden power to the yellow army, that is, their batting line up is deep till number eleven!
One more reason for a win is to prove the world that we are world champions not by default nor by the fortune, but by our talent. As always happen, this time also the english media have started their sledging job by questioning the talent of Steve Smith, the number one batsmen of the world! I'm pretty sure Smithy won't take that serious, rather he would reply with his bat.
And the ever aggressive David Warner had changed a lot and stopped his misbehaving attitudes on and around the ground, a welcoming change. I always thought of Aussies playing with the spirit, because even if they play without sledging, they will definitely win. So, I'm looking forward to see the silent and calm Warner to show his aggressiveness only with the bat and cover fielding stunts, as how the whole world would like to enjoy with him if he do that, as how everyone loves Brendon.
And as how the English media stated the Aussie team, "Daddy's Army", there is a point to prove that this ashes for the retiring legends of Australia and prove that the selection of them upon the younger guys correct. This series is for Hadds, Mitch, Clarkey, Rogers, Watto and for Ryano especially. The guy who fought for his team even with his entire career he was having pain when bowling those 148kph stunners. Ryan Harris should get a proper retirement reward by this ashes win.
I have some wishes, for what it means world to me. If I see Pup and Watto partner up in the middle and destroy the Englishmen all over the park, at least in one match, that would be my day! I would like to see them playing together probably for the last time with tears filled in my eyes...
And I like to see Warner and Smithy go places in this series, wanna see them gun big tons to obtain their form.
I want Starcy and Mitchy to reap the stumps of the pommies at every possible gap they got.
If these all happens, I'll be happy to spend my rest of the days in this earth, thinking about these memories.
All the best for Ashes Team Australia! let the flag fly higher and higher!!!
Let's do this for Ryano and for our little brother Hughes.
Cheers!
