Prediction Thread
Hi. I know there's various threads asking for predictions, but well I thought it would be an idea if we got everybody's predictions in one go. It was done in the official thread last year, and we can all have a good chuckle at those who get it horribly wrong ie probably this blinded optimist right here. The rose tinted glasses are firmly attached to my head and will be as long as those Ashes are ours.
Score: 2-2 Top Runscorer: Strauss Top Wicket Taker: Warne Most catches (wk excluded): Bell Biggest surprise: Mahmood Biggest disappointment: McGrath Man of the series: Flintoff Amount of Guinness to be drank upon completion of the series by GIMH: unquantified

Top Runscorer: Hayden Top Wicket Taker: Lee Most catches (wk excluded): Hayden Biggest surprise: Panesar Biggest disappointment: Martyn Man of the series: Hayden Just thought I may as well add some general predictions. Am tipping Panesar for a big series, Hussey will go well but not superman well, neither Warne nor Flintoff will relive their past efforts, but they'll still put in the odd super performance
