Getting a ticket for the New Year’s test match against the Poms was no easy feat, although the travelling English fans seemed to manage just fine.
The oldest and fiercest rivalry in cricket begins in around three weeks time. I have always admired the perpetual banter thrown back and forth between the JAFAs and the Poms. However, this year the Barmy Army is in for a pricey trip, with the Aussie dollar rock-solid against the pound.
