We are too preoccuied with the Ashes, we always have been. Last time round, even from the South African tour, we were already looking forward to the Ashes. and to say the truth, most countries do sort of look forward when they are bout to play the Aussies. But in our case, considering the run we have had over the last few series, we could do away with that distraction.

THE AUSSIES SEEM TO BE PREOCCUPIED AS WELL
