Edgbaston and Headingley should be on the list for the Ashes every time for me.

2-1 feels about right, but it could easily be 2-1 the other way too. The series held here are often close and really good contests, it’s rare that we get the same ebb and flow in the games and series down under and more often than not we are just trying to avoid being embarrassed (with the odd...
