The countdown is almost over with Thursday 21st November almost here. Midnight in Brisbane is when it all begins. With England keen to retain the ashes trophy after their 3-0 win on home soil earlier this year, the first back-to-back series hosted in Oz is guaranteed to be an eventful one.
Kevin Pietersen, already England’s leading run scorer of all time – ahead of legends Graham Gooch and Alec Stewart, will make it into the record books as he steps out on to the fresh pitch of The Gabba this week and into the distinguished 100 club.
The first test in the Ashes series is KP’s 100th test and what a setting to do it in. However, slightly tainting this incredible moment in his career, Pietersen has been slated – yet again – in a front cover news story about his ego and antics in the dressing-room.
More bad press for the England side includes accusations that Broad asked two people to be removed from Sydney Cricket Ground’s members bar after they kept badgering him. Both took to twitter to defend themselves.
Let’s hope it does not affect them come Thursday.
That's Ball on Willow.
