England’s cunning Ashes plan

Australia 296/8 (Paine 111), England 107/5 (after 25 overs)

Many think that England have already lost the plot after their Ashes victory. They are mistaken. Preparations are already underway for the next Ashes series in Australia in 2010/11, and early plans are currently being executed with great success.

By allowing Australia to win this ODI series 7-0 and thus gain revenge for their Ashes defeat straight away, Andrew Strauss and his men are making their task down-under that much simpler. Think how complacent the Aussies will be by then.

Wishful thinking? Discuss…
