Who will you support in the upcoming Ashes and why?

[dhillon28]

For non England/Australian supporters only- would be interesting to know the non Ashes nations attitude towards the series.

 

[Mike5181]

Australia.

 

[uvelocity]

new zealand

 

[MrPrez]

Probably the poms because I'm a Saffa so by default am bred to hate the Aussies (we're bred to hate the poms too but not as much).

Then again the aussies beating the poms would probably do SA a favour in terms of holding their position atop the Test rankings. Still.

 

[Daemon]

Interesting question.

Doubt I'll be supporting either side over the other but certainly some players over others.

Patto, Hughes, Prior, Cowan, Clarke, KP I can get behind. PEWS probably knows who's on the top of my hated list. Him and his stupid grin. God wac he is.

 

[Flem274*]

Cook, Clarke, Patto, Anderson, Siddle, Lyon, Prior, KP, Cowan, Warner and Compton. Harris and Tremlett in the unlikely event they play.

I hope the rest don't take a wicket or score a run.

 

[MrPrez]

Actually I'll be supporting South Africa.

Australia this time, I tend to be a bit of a Swing Supporter for the Ashes, but I must say I'd prefer 5 great games and an England and Wales win than Australia prevailing 1-0 in a series with lot of rain and flat pitches.

Already 4-0 for Oz in the poll. The pommy cricketers are SO loved around the world, aren't they?

 

[Uppercut]

Australia I would imagine, since England will be huge favourites. But in reality it depends who I put money on.

 

[biased indian]

will support Australia...since they will be going into the series as outsiders...and this will be the first time that i would be supporting Australia in cricket after the 1987 world cup final ...always like to support the under dogs

 

[Lillian Thomson]

This would have been a far more interesting Poll if the options had been:

English supporting England
English supporting Australia
Australian supporting England
Australian supporting Australia
Neutral supporting England
Neutral supporting Australia
English not supporting either
Australian not supporting either
Neutral not supporting either
Julia Gillard

I know most normal people tend to support their own country but I've come across one or two on here in the past who don't necessarily all the time.

 

[Dan]

I'm supporting Cowan, Hughes, Clarke, Smith, Patto, Lyon, Harris, Siddle, Starc, Cook, Compton, Root, Prior, Swann, Anderson.

Australia for the overall result, provided Glenn Maxwell has nothing to do with it.

 

[centurymaker]

Aus

coz they are clearly the underdogs here

 

[GotSpin]

Carn Straya!

 

[subshakerz]

I support Australia in England and I want the series Down Under to be drawn.

 

[Viscount Tom]

England, although I'm not sure as to why that needs explaining.

 

[L Trumper]

England, probably. But I am more concerned with individual performances and standard of play. Hopefully we will get great matches.

 

[honestbharani]

For the first time since about 1995 or 96, I will be in Australia's corner..

 

[silentstriker]

Australia

 

[Senile Sentry]

Australia.

World cricket needs a strong Australia really. India will continue to pump zillions regardless of its team being **** or not (IPL has become its best insurance policy to vagaries of performance of national team)

England too, Just look at the 90s.

But I do fear for Australia. For a nation of its size Aus has always amazed me with the talent it produced. World cricket simply cannot afford to have a middle rung Australia.

So Australia it is. Despite Burgey.
