Surprise Packet: Broad. Will take at least one 5-for and score 2 half-centuries.
Dropped Player(s): Lee, Sidebottom, Hauritz
Miscellaneous Events: Pietersen will continue the wounded prima donna act throughout, Hauritz will take wickets at Cardiff but get destroyed on less responsive tracks, Sid's back and weight will plague him, Watson will be injured & the distance between Prior's batting and keeping skills will become so great as to threaten the space/time continuum.
Ha, mostly shockers. Still have a chance of 2-1 Oz (although desperately hope I'm wrong, obv), Mitch is there or thereabouts & Broad as surprise packet pretty much spot on, except I underestimated his bowling.

Selectors/injuries did for KP & Hughes tho, in mitigation.
