Who are these Englishmen feeling cocky about The Ashes? This Pom is not feeling confident at all! Decades of us getting pumped out there will do that I suppose.

Looking forward to coverage of the Worrell Trophy, can’t believe it has been ten years since the last time it was contested in the Caribbean.

Same. I think the hope is that England are competitive for once. Can hardly be too hubristic about our chances given we haven't won a single Test in Australia since 2011.

God, I wish I was there, Pete.

Cricket-less winter in Melbourne or the Frank Worrell Trophy in the Caribbean. Your reports will be the next best thing.

The Models are going to stick in my head this week! A decade is way too long and so happy this is a 3 Test series and Pete is there!

I cancelled my membership after the Summer (I’m SORRY… footy season was starting… I was WRONG) but renewed when Peter was dropped by Sky. Haven’t regretted it for a moment. I love the regularity and reliability of solid posts after each day of play. Very glad to support your presence in the Caribbean. Good luck!

A fish & cheese sandwich? Sounds like something Morne Morkel might enjoy.

It's good to see Inglis in the 11. He's clearly one of our top 6 bats. In my incredibly humble opinion.

Being sympathetic to players staging their retirements is fine if they are playing well. If Marnus had said he’s retiring after The Ashes does he keep his spot? It’s ridiculous. Uzzie has looked all at sea against decent pace for a while now.
