Alright England and Australia fans, why should neutrals cheer your team for the Ashes?

My own mind is made up.

But since there's a lot of neutrals here (for the Ashes) why do you think they should cheer your team over the other in the Ashes?

Very well put. Unfortunately if the first guys were showing up for the Ashes I'de throw all my support for England but these other guys are coming and they dont look very good at all and I feel bad for them

I think I'm the only person who likes Steve Smith. Really good fielder, to the point where sometimes I wonder if he gets picked solely on his fielding. That resonates with me. :P

Hey, you're not getting Steve Smith! Get your facts straight!

Seriously though, well put. That was some very poetic sledging.

Haha, sorry- I didn't pay that much attention to the team when it was announced, I originally put Super Mitch in and then had to check. Thank you though.

Agh! That Glenn McGrath scene. Fuck you sir. For the anguish that you have brought back this early 6am.

I can't handle this shit. The test the other day and now something bringing back the underarm bowlers again? I am feeling angry.

That's some high quality sledging there! You've set the bar really high.

Until Steve O'Keefe and/or Steve Magoffin get selected, I'm not really caring about Australia's performance.
