Can I just say that the fact that it's the Ashes explains everything? It defies any and all categorization -- calling it test cricket would somehow be making it mundane?
And, for what it's worth, I always rooted for England (somehow hating Australia's prowess was the thing to do!).
Yayy! Yes, test cricket is the absolute best.
Btw, I don't know if you remember / watched the old BBC series, Bodyline? I was rather obsessed with it (and thought Don Bradman was the hottest thing since sliced bread)!
