First things first, does it really matter to us what Mr. Mark Ridiclously Annoying Nicholas says anout his Royal Highness, the King of Spain, most certainly no, a big fat and emphatic NO!!!! All cricket fans, as matter of solodarity with the mental ineptness of Mr. Mark Ridiclously Annoying Nicholas should not pay any attention what so ever to what he says...

Now to the proper sense talk, Ashley Giles might actually do well, even with those tactics Nicholas menions - most Aussies are free scoing batsmen who don't like being bogged down - I said yesterday in another post that in theory one of the easiest and most effective ways to have any chance of bowling out Australia cheap is to frustrate them via not allowing 'em to score - there are not many scoring options when you are attacking leg stump...this tactic too can work...

ps: I also tip Ashley Giles to score his highest batting test score in the Ashes...75* I would say, just have this strange suspician ...
