While many of us old enough loved the era of watching Lillie and Thompson turn The Poms into a puddle of pitch jelly, and we were all probably mesmerised by Warne's magic acts, there is something strangely compelling about the Ashes series starting tonight.
It feels like I'll be watching a Sir David Attenborough "Survival of the Fittest on the Serengeti" type documentary with the dishevelled rising on their last legs for one final shot at a winner take all battle in enemy territory!
As a result, I suspect it could go one of two ways with nothing much in between, The Rumble in the Jungle(Ali v Foreman) or Once and For All(Tyson v Spinks)!
