New Ashes thread

Can't we all just agree that teams have up/down periods, and it's cricket? ::) Ideally yes we'd like to go into every test match not having a clue who's going to win, but that's not the case.

                                Australia             England             Drawn

All series                67    31 (46.3%)   31 (46.3%)     5 (7.5%)
Series in Australia   33    17 (51.5%)   14 (42.4%)     2 (6.1%)
Series in England    34    14 (41.2%)   17 (50%)        3 (8.8%)

and for all the supposed dominance over 20 years by Australia?

This is not accurate  ;)

Cricket is a much higher % of the sporting market in Australia than England. Footy/soccer is at least 70% of our market, leaving cricket about 10%, while in Australia cricket is about 25%.

[tbagrocks]

Where are the stats from the last 20 years? ???  All time series results means little as Ele nicely pointed out ;D

[Jukes]

Jukes didn't HP warn you to stop trolling?

And besides, we don't need daily reminders that you are a knob ;)

so now you want to go into selective memory right?

if all time series results mean nothing yet you think this is the pinnacle of the sport then the sport doesnt need fans like you
