England Down Under 2013/14

The itinery for the second installment of the back to back Ashes series, has been announced, with much the same format down under as previous Ashes tours....

It will all get under way in Brisbane on 21st November 2013, some 12 months earlier than planned, owing to the fact, that Australia will be part of hosting the 2015 Cricket World Cup.

England Cricket supporters will be looking for a repeat performance from that of 2010, when they superbly won in the Aussies back yard, to keep hold of the famous 'urn they had won in 2009.

With ten Ashes tests back to back in 2013, it promises to be a fabulous year for England cricket.
