The Ashes!

He's more of a Twenty 20 specialist nowadays ;)
 
Oh right, so as well as preparing a nice track for them in the last test we're now giving our batting line up away for the next one a week or so in advance! I was in Aussie last year with the barmy army for the whitewash and the Aussies weren't quite as open/welcoming as the ECB seem to be, all tests played the way they like and advantage of home conditions taken in full. Maybe we're a bit too accommodating to our guests?
 
With Anderson out for the next Test at least. Who will replace him?

Footit would be the like for like replacement in terms of the movement he can get, but would Wood come back in to the team? Or even Plunkett, who has more international experience?
 
Hee hee, 60 all out! Looking more like 3-1 to us Paul with rain saving them in the last test:)
Very happy to have egg on my face mate! Absolutely brilliant, what a fantastic bowling & catching performance:scarf: (i'm pretending this is an England scarf waving smilie btw!)
 
I'll go 3-1. Mixture of momentum from that match plus NZ series, experience in bowling in our conditions, plus effects of injuries on Aussie squad and the fact that a few of them are getting a bit past it. But I'll give them one test at some point for dogged persistence combined with a collective England batting failure (which no test series should ever be without).

Make that two collective England batting failures ... but with a bit of predicted help from the weather I might have otherwise got it right.
