It feels like much more than four years went by since the hallowed Ashes Cup graced the Queen's Isle, playing host to the scumbags of that penal colony/island/country/continent, Australia. But lo, it is once again time to don our whites and plant our wickets firmly in the pitch. It is once again cricket time.
Cash and Pablo will be pitting their batsmen know-how with some high stakes fantasy cricket action (courtesy of CricketInc) over the course of the Ashes. The dates of the Ashes matches - for those of you who have not synced them into your Outlook calendars or told your mistresses to, "Just go out shopping," so you can get all Keith Richards with your own ashes tradition:
7/8: CARDIFF
7/16: LORDS
7/30: EDGBASTON
8/7: HEADINGLY
8/20: KENNINGTON OVAL
The stakes will be commensurate with Sir Allen Stanford-level cricket wagering: twenty pounds sterling, deliverable ONLY in pounds sterling. Winner will be the party whose bowlers/batsmen/all-arounds put up the most points between the five matches, and will not only have his coffer filled with a devaluing currency, but also be crowned "The Peter Gammons of Cricket."
Let the wager commence!
