Haha, indeed. Burgey, I'd swap the Katich and Clarke scores btw. A Clarke double-hundred would be a treat to watch...

...which is much, much more than I could say for a Katman double.

superkingdave · 28-10-2010, 02:38 AM

4-0 Australia
Top Run Scorer - Ponting/Strauss
Top Wicket taker - Johnson/Broad
Axed - Hauritz/KP
Debuts - None
Flop of the series - Prior
Surprise - Johnson, will take plenty of wickets and bat a lot better as well.

Johnners · 28-10-2010, 04:35 AM

Predictions:
3-1 Australia.
Top run scorers - Ponting/Strauss
Top wicket takers - Johnson/Broad
Axed - Hauritz/North/Finn/Bell
Debut/Returns - Siddle (1st test, Dougeh has to pull out with injury), Khwaja, Paine (Haddin injury again) - Morgan/Tremlett
Flop of the series - Katich/Swann
Surprise of the series - Hauritz - will average under 30 with the ball. Johnners over 30 with the Bat.

Howsie · 28-10-2010, 04:38 AM

So Nathan Hauritz will average under 30 with the ball but still get the chop?

Johnners · 28-10-2010, 05:06 AM

Yup, reckon there's a chance of Aust playing 4 seamers in 1 test (i.e. Perth), regardless of how Hauritz is bowling beforehand. "Axed" mightn't be the best way of putting it, but reckon it might happen.

Teja. · 28-10-2010, 10:11 AM

Scoreline: 3-1 Australia
Top Runscorers: Micheal Clarke for Australia and Jonathon Trott for England
Top Wicket Takers: Mitchell Johnson for Australia and Swann for England
Debutant/Returning Players: Usman Khawaja

Swann, despite being the highest wicket taker for England, will average over 33.

Faisal1985 · 28-10-2010, 02:32 PM

Yeah, have a feeling Aussies are going to turn around their dreadful form and win the Ashes.

But, i will support the English this time... (no jinx).

lachlan43 · 30-10-2010, 08:18 AM

3-1 Australia
Top runscorer - Simon Katich
Top wicket taker - Doug the Rug (if fit), otherwise Johnson.
Dumpings - None during the series.
Debutant/Returning players - Khawaja, due to an injury.
Surprise Packet - Bill Lawry to refer to a Victorian player/crowd/curator/seagull as an Australian rather than a Victorian.

Somerset · 31-10-2010, 02:46 AM

Result: 3-1 Australia
Top runscorer: Kevin Pietersen
Top wicket taker: Ben Hilfenhaus
Dumpings: Stephen Finn, Marcus North, Nathan Hauritz
Debutant/Returning players: Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith
Surprise Packet: All of the tests to go five days, Australia to win the series but England to have the two leading run scorers

Result: 3-0 Australia
Top runscorer: Ricky Ponting
Top wicket taker: Mitchell Johnson for Australia and Swann for England
Dumpings: Marcus North, Nathan Hauritz...not sure about England.....
Debutant/Returning players: Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith
Surprise Packet: I think Australia are going to bring back Steven Smith and he will be the one to destroy England. Ricky Ponting and Mitchell Johnson will hit back.

England will once again bite the dust. They don't have the bowling attack to trouble Australia in Australia.

This time around....for the first time in a long long time I will be supporting Australia. They seem to be looking like the West Indies of the mid to late nineties. I don't want them going down that route.

andruid · 31-10-2010, 05:46 AM

Scoreline: 2-2-1 England retain ashes
Top Runscorers: Kevin Pietersen / Michael Clarke
Top Wicket Takers: Stuart Broad / Mitchell Johnson
Debutant/Returning Players: Monty Panesar / Brad Haddin
Surprise event: Monty To be the star of the Sydney Test in circumstances that bizarrely mirror those of the third test in the 06/07 Ashes.

andruid · 31-10-2010, 06:57 AM

Almost forgot. Biggest flops: Shane Watson / Ian Bell
