Is this it?



Is this the ad you've all been talking about? I love it. If only we could have them all for Ashes 2010/11, eh?

Yosh.

Love the editing of the bowling at the end, but MJ is really out of place with those giants of the past.

Hayley, I would love to go but would I have to associate with the Barmy Army if I won? There could be blood ...

Lou, I love Mitch is there at the end. Of course, we make fun of him now but one day ... maybe?

I have vastly lowered my expectations of the wobbly one.

Wish he had Siddle's temperament. He'd be a world beater.

It's a great ad though and that particular last sequence of the bowlers is a corker. Any ad with Ray Lindwall in it is on the front foot already.

You're a big fan of Lindwall, huh? I have to admit, I know very little about him. You've got me curious, though.

I read a biography about him when I was a kid.

I'm not a great reader of sports biographies as sportspeople are not interesting per se.

But my father brain-washed me about how brilliant he was and looking at his stats, he probably was. Could hit the ball too. It's just really nice that they put him in the sequence and not McGrath.

Shaen, isn't it a great ad? I've been told by friends/family back home in perth that they haven't seen it on the TV. I assume it will be televised closer to the series starting.
