Can England regain the Ashes?
The Ashes kicks off today in Cardiff. The programme is coming live from the ground from 10.
In the build up to today's first Test, listeners taking part in 5Live Sport with Mark Pougatch last night told him they were delighted to have the First Test here. The front of the Western Mail's headline is this - "As Wales welcomes the Ashes, we say....Come on England".
I was chatting to Aggers last night - turns out he's a big fan of Twitter (you can follow me on Twitter, look for vicderbyshire). I also met the legendary Australian commentator Jim Maxwell. His 15 year old boy is pretty good at cricket he was telling me, so I asked him how I could get my 5 year old into it. "Give it a year" he said in his dry Australian twang.
Join us for the build up. We'll be hearing from England's spin bowler Graeme Swann, you can hear the toss live at 1030, plus we'll talk to the parents of Australia's opening batsman Philip Hughes.
And the big question is - Can England regain the Ashes?

So if the England cricket team can play test matches on cricket grounds in Wales then presumably there's no restriction on Welsh cricket players playing for England?
Apparently Welsh players have played for England before because of an English/Wales dual cricket partnership that's always been in existence! Hence the question as to why's it called the England cricket team?
If it's tolerable to combine Welsh and England players together in one team why not bring in the Scots and the Irish and have a combined Great British cricket team with test ground venues in every country?

Scotland and Ireland have international teams that compete in world cups.
Wales don't
The end.
