Australia has fired the first salvo in the Ashes war, by putting up a huge ad on the Big Ben in which Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke pose with the quote saying "Don't forget to pack the Ashes!!"
What do you think of such mind games ahead of the Ashes?
Cheers!

I dont think Aussies can make a mistake of thinking that they will pack the Ashes easily.Australia is no longer dominating force in cricket as they used to be and Eng will surely put up a tough fight .This Ashes series will surely be great to watch as both teams are well matched.

Ashes, it is one of international cricket's most celebrated rivalries and dates back to 1882. England currently holds The Ashes, after defeating Australia 2–1 to regain them in the 2009 Ashes series which took place in England.
This time around Australia are determined to win back Ashes.They have been known to play mind games before and they will do everything they can to upset mindset of England players before Ashes begins. England are also on backing off.
The latest on this - Oct 27
[Kevin Pietersen rises to the bait after former Australian coach John Buchanan identifies the batsman as England’s weak link, saying Pietersen's form is a "a major problem". "I'm not interested in what he has to say," snorts back Pietersen. "Who is he? He's a nobody."]
