Almost as soon as England seized the 2010 Ashes series momentum firmly away from the Australians, in the process smugly stealing the title of favourites with the cricket betting odds from the hosts, the first signs of overconfidence started to manifest themselves in the England camp.
Although the players themselves are trying to do their very best to stay grounded and allow the media to continue to focus on the problems in the Australian side, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron has, conversely, decided to start discussing how he is already looking forward to hosting a victory party at 10 Downing Street should the England side return home triumphant.
Despite being hugely unsuccessful in his previous attempts to get involved in the world of sport, and failing to garner any support whatsoever for the England 2018 FIFA World Cup bid despite his personal intervention, Cameron has decided once again that he needs to be involved in English sport and look like one of the lads.
While Cameron may be excused by Online cricket betting pundits for wanting to find reasons to enjoy himself after enduring a torrid time since the coalition government was formed, the Prime Minister appears to have forgotten that sports are best left to the professionals that take part in them. With most commentators still suggesting that the 2010 Ashes series is still very much in the balance, talk of a victory party seems to be extremely premature.
However, should England manage to ignore the increasing media interest in their progress down under, they may just be able to secure their first Ashes series victory on Australian soil since the 1980s. If they can do that, then by all rights they can claim that they deserve a party to be hosted in their honour at 10 Downing Street.
