Love your sig. If James made a WW t-shirt I would fork out up to $60 for it.I'm starting to like a few of the new English players so on the basis of who I like more I'm Rooting for them. Buuuuut Australia winning and then us beating Australia is better for NZ and the current teams legacy.
Similar, but I'd really support Australia this time because I hate Cook and love/like Pietersen.This is tricky.
Historically, I would back England, because Australia were the all-mighty, dominant side filled with ****y ****s.
However, recently England have had their share of success and ****s, while Australia have become more human and more likeable.
It's about 50-50 at this stage with regards to who I'd like to see win. I'd like to see certain players do well - Root, Moeen, Butler, Woakes (if he plays), Lyth, Lyon, Clarke, Harris, Rogers - and I'd like to see certain players not do well - basically just Broad and Watson.
Tough call. Gonna go for 'maximum wahhh accumulated from both sides' as my answer too
It's about the colonisers vs the colonials.How can you have neutrals for the Ashes - ffs people Australia are in it
we'll already be getting a very different australia to the one we'd like to test the team against. no rogers, maybe no harris, haddin will be gone because he won't score any runs or catch a ball away from home, johnson might be gone...If Australia lose the Ashes they will go back to being 'a team in transition'; which generally means tossing out perfectly good players because they happen to be over 32 - not going to be around for the next Ashes, y'see - for someone who hit a nice cover drive this week.
So NZers should be supporting England if they want to beat Australia themselves this year.
