James Sutherland Team Quotations

We encourage Australian cricket fans to send their message of support to our team as they prepare for this important contest, ... It has been an incredible series and the English team has enjoyed massive home-town support. We hope to leave Ricky Ponting and his team in no doubt as to the huge level of support they have from Australians back home.

When it comes to Australian team sporting prizes, it's clear that the public consider the Ashes to be the pinnacle. We expect the whole country will be gripped by Ashes fever when the Ashes series begins later this year.

We will be working as a team over the next few years to help raise the profile, awareness and funding for the Royal Flying Doctor Service through the Australian cricket network so they can continue to help Australians in need.

In establishing this offer we will be aiming to reward Australian fans who register as members of the Cricket Family while also ensuring as many Australians as possible have access to next summer's matches. If you're an Australian and want to support the team in the forthcoming Test Series, register online now and give yourself the best chance of being there.

In our short-term planning, the centre will play a significant role in helping Australia win back the Ashes next summer with the Australian team basing itself here in the build-up to the Ashes series.

It was important that we sent as strong a team as possible. We did not want to send the wrong message to New Zealand fans and New Zealand Cricket.
