The 2013 Ashes

Which players do you think will keep their place for the next series in 2013?

England: Strauss (c), Cook, Trott, Taylor, Bell, KP, Prior, Swann, Tremlett, Anderson, Finn.

England are a pretty young side and the only one to drop out due to age could be Strauss (currently 33) but I can see him playing better as he gets older and as captain, as with Gooch. KP will have his unpredictable ups and downs, I think he will stay on but drop down the order.

Morgan will get found out at Test level but will continue to be a top ODI batsman. Finn will be back once he gets some more control. There'll be at least one surprise dropping or career finished so I've gone for Broad.

I tried thinking about Australia but I honestly have no idea. I think Watson, Clarke, Khawaja, Haddin and Siddle are the only very likely candidates.
