I presume others have been listening to TMS - I think the Australian commentators have been excellent. Even and especially when The Ashes are steadily slipping away.

nope, watching tv - sky's team are excellent - bumble, warne, holding, nasser and athers pretty much untouchable. all they need to do is drop botham and keep gower out of the commentary box

England to win 2-1...Anderson and Swann to star with ball...Strauss, Bopara and Swann with bat... Katich for the Aussies...

don't have Sky Sports :( internet stream + TMS, hopefully...

routes wins the score predictions, though lets himself down badly with his faith in the Small Bopper. Good all on Swann's batting though

this ashes victory has personally been better for me than 2005. because when we won the ashes in 2005 i was laid out on the sofa with very painful tonsilitis.

The Ashes victory has personally been better for me this time round, because I understand the rules now :)

yeah at one point Hayden said the TMS producers were calling for him pretty regularly cos every time he got on the mic a wicket seemed to arrive.
