Is it true that GENERALLY matches of Ashes starts on Thursday? If, yes, then what is the logic?

Maybe its because of how long each one takes. If it lasts (on average) about four days, then starting it on Thursday would mean the highly watched climax would happen at the weekend when more people can watch it.

There are no Abbots in the ashes. Shaun Tait has replaced Gillespie.

Wow. Shane Warne is as lethal as ever. How are Aussies following this game? I read different views. One stated that the Aussies were not too interested in this series having got used to one-sided games dominated by them. And another one reported the Australian PM requesting the employers to go easy on the employees if they came in late or came with a red eye.
