    I dont normally get into cricket, (the game played with a bat and ball that is) but this ashes series is becoming pretty interesting.
    Is it me or has cricket become more interesting recently?

    I am keeping my fingers crossed, won't watch just in case I jinx them. Whenever I watch something when I want one side or person to win, they lose. :D
