Australia attracts Ashes fans already

Travel operators are reporting a massive rise in interest for the England cricket team's tour to Australia, which will take place in the winter of 2006/07.

The summer has only just come to an end, but thousands of people who became infected with Ashes fever over the last months can't wait for the tour to Australia to come round, the Times reports.

Destinations such as Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane will be booming as Brits, many from the famous Barmy Army, follow the fortunes of Andrew Flintoff, Steve Harmison, Kevin Pietersen and Michael Vaughan Down Under.

Dave Peacock, the Barmy Army's "general", commented: "Since the Ashes it's been fantastic, the tour Down Under should be the best ever."

The team has just embarked on a tour to Pakistan, but very few fans will be following the team due to the recent earthquake there.

If some Aussie sun next winter is too far away, then you could always book a trip to India for the Easter break, as the England cricket team are scheduled to play there in March and April.
