Marmite v Vegemite: Poms v Aussies



Following Pakistan's well-deserved victory over Sri lanka in the bish-bash 20-20 Cricket World Cup and the England women team's glorious victory over New Zealand, our cricketing attentions turn to the more serious matter of The Ashes (of which, of course, our women's team are currently the holders and our men's team are, ingloriously, not).

To celebrate this summer's primary cricketing attraction (and in the footsteps of Lover's Marmite, which included champagne, and Guinness Marmite), Marston's Pedigree Marmite is the newest limited edition of love-it-or-hate-it Marmite.

Marston's Pedigree, being the 'official beer of the England cricket team', suitably provides the yeast for this new Marmite. Vegemite doesn't stand a chance against it, just like the Aussies don't stand a chance against our English boys, who are all on top form (apart from bish-bashing, of course).
