What a day for us cricket fans! England bowled out Australia for 304 to win the second Test in Adelaide in emphatic fashion by an innings and 71 runs and take a 1-0 lead in the Ashes.

Australia had not lost at home by an innings since the great West Indian side of 1993 punished them in Perth. They have only ever once lost by a bigger margin in Adelaide in Test history. They must now win at least two of the remaining three matches to have any chance of regaining an urn they used to almost own.

With England now firmly focused on their Ashes Campaign, every fan will have one eye on next summer, when Strauss and his team will face a stern examination.

Next summer, Strauss and his team will face a stern examination!

Next summer England will play host to two sides that only play one brand of cricket. Exciting! Sri Lanka visit these shores with a team built around fabulous players like Sangakarra and Jayawardene and exciting newcomers like Matthews and Mendis. The post Muralitharan era will be a stern test of Sri Lankan credentials away from home.

The second half of the summer sees the rockstars of cricket and No1 ranked nation India visit. Tendulkar, Sehwag and Dhoni need no introduction. With a passionate following in the UK Indian fans will bring their own brand of fanatical support to each ground.

We can’t wait!
