The Ashes may be the longest and fiercest sporting soap opera the world has known. The anticipation is always intense, expectations are high and, for England fans, disappointment is almost inevitable, as we usually lose. But it''s a drug we can never kick. How have we got into this state? Can we ever break free?

This new edition updates the tale to the victorious 2009 series, while remaining brutally realistic about our chances in 2010 and beyond . .
