Ashes 2009 Cricket Series – Ashes Cricket 2009 Schedule, Team Info

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).

Ashes 2009 England vs Australia 1st Test Series Live Cricket Score

International cricket fans will celebrate the start of Ashes Test 2009 Series Tour of England once again. July 08 2009 is the day when Ashes 2009 Test Series will kick start at Cardiff England, but this time Australia team is minus the big brigade of Glen McGrath, Shane Warne and Adam Gilchrist; so one can say that Australia is without their Ashes experienced players.

England has home advantage but is that enough to beat Australia? Because Ricky Ponting and men are hoping that the blend of youth and experience will help bring them the Ashes. The Australian team is more or less similar which won series against South Africa. How can anyone forget Marcus North and Phillip Hughes’ 100s on debuts? Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus will make good team with Mitchell Johnson for whom it is the first tour of Ashes. Although Brett Lee failed in the ICC T20, you can never discount his abilities, and so will be Stuart Clark. CA’s selection panel chairman, Andrew Hilditch remarked that the Ashes will continue to be exciting and that the young Australian squad will attempt to beat England in England.

Australia have some bad times in the recent past with losing some series against the India and South Africa but they have regained their test no. 1 spot. Australia were also out of the T20 World Cup in the quarter-finals so this is great opportunity for them to bounce back and show up their potentials and strength. England team is also set to give a tough fight to the young and new Aussies side.

Ashes 2009 : Australia vs England 1st Test Preview

Ashes 2009 starts off with the 1st Test match to be played at Cardiff. Both teams are really pumped up and are ready to play their best in the tournament. Aussies have a little problem as their leading pace attack Brett lee is injured and ruled out of the first 2 tests. Here a match preview for the 1st test..


Ashes 2009 : Lee out of the first test

Australia fast bowler Brett Lee has been ruled out of the first Ashes test against the England starting from Wednesday due to side injury. Team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris has confirmed in a press conference that Brett Lee will miss the series opener after the scan reports came in.

Kountouris also added that Lee will be doubtful for the second test to be plated at Lord’s as well.

Lee has performed amazingly in the warm-up matches being played against the England Lions in Worcester. Lee took six wickets for 76 runs, which proved he is back in his form and could be dangerous for the England if he was able to play.

“The scan revealed he has a small strain in one of his abdominal muscles - the internal oblique muscle,” Kountouris said. “It is not as bad as it could have been, so we are going to monitor it over the next couple of weeks.”

Asked if Lee would be fit for next week’s second Test at Lord’s, Kountouris added: “He is not out but the chances are slim.”

This injury was a bitter blow for Lee, Australia’s senior fast bowler on tour with 310 wickets from 76 Tests.

The 32-year-old Lee has not played a Test since December because of foot and heel injuries but his performance against Worcester appeared to have seen him win his ‘bowl-off’ with Stuart Clark for a pace berth alongside fellow quicks Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle.

Lee repeatedly stressed his disappointment at missing the series opener but insisted the injury was not as bad as it could have been.

“This is only a small obstacle put in front of me,” he told reporters. “If it was my ankle and something of a structural thing I would be a lot more concerned.”

Brett Lee is a major blow for the Aussies as they don’t have any of the experienced bowling attack in the squad. Lee is the only one with good experience of Ashes tour of England. So now Australia team will come with a new inexperienced bowling attack against the England in the Ashes opener.
