Just in case you want a bit of Ashes chat, here's a place to do it.
Here's a link for the latest score in England's game v Western Australia.
Even though we are still 18 days away from this Ashes series, World Cricket Watch have been in touch with some suggested reading offering an Aussie perspective on where Australian cricket goes from here:
• Let's play the captaincy lottery! by Matthew Wood at Balanced Sports
With Ponting nearing the end of his career and Michael Clarke facing a backlash in the dressing room, there is no natural successor in the way that Mark Taylor, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting seamlessly replaced one another
• Who should be lining up for Australia in the 2014-15 Ashes?
Rather than face the forthcoming series, Aussie pundits debate the team for Brisbane 2014.
And for the England perspective, there's always Graeme Swann's video diary.
Match reports and other Ashes coverage will be posted here later.
