Five ways to get into Ashes spirit

The Ashes begin again very soon and I’m sure you’re all very excited but if you need a little extra motivation to get into the Ashes spirit of things then heres my list of 5 ways to get in the Ashes spirit. However, please bear in mind that I am an England fan and therefore this post is entirely biased and only suitable for England fans, sorry!

1) Watch the DVD of The Ashes 2005 series highlights. After it is known as the greatest series ever and can be bought cheaply on Amazon if you don’t already have it. Sit back, relax and enjoy watching England lift the Ashes. Something we will hopefully be doing again very soon!

2) Play a game of cricket. It may be winter here in the UK but that is no excuse, grab some friends, a bat and a ball and head down to the park for a quick knock-around. If anything can get you in a cricket mood then surely it’s playing it!

3) Bake a cricket cake. Why not snap up something tasty by baking a nice cricket cake, recipes and ideas can be found on the internet. Although, you could just pop down to Tesco and buy one which would probably be easier.

4) Sing barmy army songs. If like me you can’t be there in Australia with the barmy army cheering on England, then why not sing some barmy army songs at home to get in the mood.

5) Read more of my blog. Ok this one is a bit of a trick if you haven’t noticed but I’ll be posting more articles once the Ashes get in the full swing of things. So why not just stay here and read my posts?

Hopefully these tips will help you get excited for the upcoming Ashes, if you have anymore tips that I didn’t think of then let me know! I can be contacted via Twitter, email or Facebook. No prize for guessing that details of those can be found on my contact page.
