Two matches,...
With every ICC event, comes a chance to make history, for England. They are the underdogs. If they play the way they did in the first 6 ODIs in the recent Natwest Series against Australia, they will lose all three matches but if they play to win, like they did in the 7th, they are bound to win. In the 7th one-dayer, they looked good from the first ball, with a wicket in the first over. They looked...

Only four England captains since Douglas Jardine have won the Ashes on Australian soil Beating Australia in England was the easy bit. England's cricketers will discover, in 15 months' time, that winning the Ashes over there is a trickier business altogether.
