The ashes of 2010: winning sport is that all that the Australia has, says Matthew Norman

Less than a week before the first ball ash is reversed in Australia - and if ever a sentence has been designed to submit the most optimistic of hearts, that we will reach below, which is the chappie - seems to be everywhere bar luge.

Australians are in turmoil, we read, or at least in a foreign Land of Plenty .the neurotic gloom State ' squad is too large to 17, lower or injured players or form, and the country prepares for a hiding in the hands of the composition.

About our boys tour goes swimmingly series is already as good as ours.When even Monty Panesar leaps as Memorial Gordon Banks take stunning salmon taken final warm-up in the game, small ask that Sir Ian (or I pronounced it, Serena) Botham's Sky Sports is hyper-confiants about opportunities of his successors.

If rain on this parade sunny with drizzle of classical English pessimism is an option unpleasant, is more tempting fate by joining Serena rejecting these Australian as virtual non - hopers .sort has a poor historical track record, for a lifetime of sports excruciation patriotic teaches to resist the temptation of kicking the tempter in the shoemakers.

The best antidote to the excesses that I found is to dwell by YouTube, travel on the first above-mentioned ball delivered four years earlier by the high priest of nostalgia, Steve Harmison.Sick is how looking at the House felt that night as Harmie arranged for the second slip without the conventional assistance edge outside.

"It was that old clique,"observed my cousin Nick, from armchair and terse concluding four hours of optimistic speculation that had preceded the fiasco, "we have lost 5-0 series and I'm going home." "" So we have, and therefore it is sensibly declining return for all the horrible nights ensuing vigils.

Which makes this imminent series, a perspective of irresistible song is not just that, on paper, England are side stronger and that if Graeme Swann maintains its shape sublime Andrew Strauss became the first English captain to win since the perfectly spherical Mike Gatting b.c antipodal ' is the possibility of providing a blow to the Australian believes itself pretty brutal to keep shortness of the years.

Already surpassed by the Spain as pre-eminent sporting nation on the planet, the Australia found a comparative slump.In summer, the football team did not build on their impressive showing in the 2006 World Cup.Lleyton Hewitt is a companion to tennis since ages, while Sam Stosur reached the French Open final in June, she shyly abandoned elle.Pour an Italian.Saturday their rugby union XV was riding at Twickenham and the next day, Mark Webber challenge for the world title in formula 1 shot at Abu Dhabi.

Singularly shocking thing here is that win at the games - and I hope that this sound condescending - is the a.Pour Australia a country without a shred of history or a suspicion of culture, and geographically distended (with apologies in New Zealand) in developed countries, the sport is the only way important internationale.Leur economy can be avoided climbs the slowdown in global and even be booming, but sporting success is what they is préoccupent.Et with excellent raison.Sans, the Australia is nothing.

Knowing this, English cricket fan must be prudent.Médiocre however these players are compared (Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist) deities who preceded, they will go without combat.Il may be on the rope, but as the bookmakers recognize continuing to Favorites on the side House, sport Australia is no Audley Harrison.

When English voice as Serena Botham are triggered prematurely in triumph, it is time to start preparing to climb the sucker punch.
