Ashes 2009 is drawing close and the itinerary for Ashes 2009 is 2009 ashes cricketannounced for the good news of Ashes followers.
The England and Wales Cricket Board, Chief Executive David Collier and Cricket Australia James Sutherland announced the Ashes 2009 schedule.
David Collier says in a statement, “already there is great expectations surrounding the nPower Test series (Ashes) which will follow the twenty20 World Championship in an exciting summer of cricket.”
Now that’s true! The 5 test Ashes series begins from July 8 2009 at the Sofia Gardens in Cardiff, the new stadium, and the second test will be at the Lords (this has been that way; very much conventional), the next at Edgbaston, the fourth at Headingley and the 5th at Oval will complete the Ashes series.
One cannot forget the Ashes 2005 as it still ticks my memories to be one of the fiercest cricketing battles I ever witnessed and England regained the Ashes with a 2-1 after 18 years. Remember Andrew Flintoff’s form in the series? The interest generated for Ashes from then on has been multiplying every year in England.
This year; however, Australia will be missing 3 biggies including Shane Warne (one cannot think of separating Ashes from this amazing spinner. Can you?), Glen McGrath and Adam Gilchrist (I am a big fan of this wonderful ambassador of the game).
