Australia opener Chris Rogers was dismissed by England right-arm off-spinner Graeme Swann on six occasions in the previous Ashes series. Will Swanny cause as much trouble for Rogers on foreign soil? Even Rogers is unsure of how things will play out; "I've got plans but I know he's going to bowl well at me. We'll have to see what happens."
Both Australia and England have agreed to HotSpot and Snicko being included in the DRS system for the second Ashes series of 2013. Real-time Snicko will help limit the number of obviously wrong decisions caused by HotSpot in the summer.
Still a lot of negative press surrounds England's bowler Stuart Broad (or "Stuart Fraud" as they have taken to calling him in Oz) because of his unapologetic nature over the seemingly controversial decision to stand his ground at the crease of Trent Bridge in July this year.
Still defending his decision, he likened the situation to football; "If Wayne Rooney jumped into a two-footed tackle in a Premier League game against Liverpool and the ref gave him a yellow card, would he go, 'You know what, ref, we're one-nil down but I'm going to walk off, come on, send me off'?" What do you think?
Tick tock, tick tock...we're almost there.
And that's Ball on Willow.
