Australian Cricket Season 2025-26 (Ashes)

[CaptJCool]

Well
I had placeholder flights for Ashes dates in Brissy, Melbourne and the home test

Holy smoke
The hotel costs are extortionate

So I’m sussing out Youth Hostel options

Also Bangladesh will be along later on 2026 and CA are looking to hold the Tests in Darwin Mackay Cairns or Townsville which would mean the 2026/27 season would bypass the Gabba

I'm going to Perth (and Sydney). As of today, the only Hilton with rooms was Northbridge and they want $850 pr night. Parmelia Hilton was offering a Diamond Guarantee at over $1150. That's what I've paid for a 4 night booking done the day the match dates were published. A lot of the English will be coming.

I'm going to the 1st day Ashes test in SYD. Prob. stay @ Pullman Mascot.

I've got a 10-man box at the Gabba, and I reckon the price has gone up by over $10k on the same box from 2021
A family tradition for me and the 5 sons plus 4 mates. Booked the accommodation at the start of the year just get something at a decent price

Having both coughmins and now Hazlewood out of the bowling attack for the first Test will make matters a bit 'more interesting'. Dogget will most likely come into the team. I really know very little about him.

Hazlewood out of Ashes opener in massive blow for Australia

Australian quick Josh Hazlewood is ruled out of the opening Ashes Test match against England in Perth with a hamstring injury.

Hamstring injuries take a long time to heal....I suspect HW will be out for the entire Ashes series! Boland will play all 5 test matches!

Not here, but another very dodgy pitch in India and the Indians have come unstuck, needing 123 or so in the last innings they were bowled out for 93. South Africa win by 30 runs. When will the Indian board realise that fixing pitches can also go against you....
