Not perfect Ashes preparations
Well its not been the perfect preparations to this ashes series but then when has it! With the return home of Marcus Trescothick last week under mysterious circumstances of ‘metal illness’ or ’stress related illness’ (I have already had the stick at work that the Poms are going home scared) and the announcement this lunchtime whilst I went out to the supermarket that Ian Bell is a doubt for the Brisbane test after injuring his hand in training I’m beginning to get that worried feeling.Â
I see also that Shane Warne has declared that England are being negative by filling our first squad with middle order batsmen. I do have to agree with Shane here - it would be brilliant to see Monty Panesar blast into the first test in Brissie like Pieterson did in the last ashes, but lets wait and see what happens on Thursday.

Greetings!
I know you are only getting started on this site, but I wanted to speak with you about publishing some of your future cricket articles. I work for Sportingo, a new sport media platform and we would love to get some Englishmen (or women) writing about the Ashes tournament. It seems even more relevant that you live down there now.
Please contact me if you are interested!
All the best and best of luck with the moving process,

Hi Michelle,
I’d love to help publicise my views on your site but I’m going to put everything into ApomsAshes. Feel free to quote my ramblings if you want and link to APOMSASHES.com
COME ON ENGLAND!
