 If I make predictions it'll be harder to make fun of everyone else's after the series... FWIW I think it's ultra-tight but I'd say the locations of the matches makes a draw unlikely. If you pushed me I'd make it about 55/45 in Australia's favour.

Makes you realise the bonus of having a player such as Flintoff that gives a side much greater balance. Don't think we've a good enough player to enable us to play a five-man attack without appreciably weakening our batting in theory. I don't think we should play a five-man attack in Perth but I can certainly recognise the advantages of having such bowling options at our disposal.

You're not on your own in wanting a five-man attack, there's plenty of pundits advocating such a switch in our strategy, and they know a lot more than I do. I think the only way it could work for us is possibly playing on the sub-continent where your top six should be relied upon to get the runs, and we can play a second spinner that's useful with the bat at six or seven. ie Rashid, Blackwell, Patel, etc. Although the waist lines would mean two of those players would be very unlikely to get the nod, but hopefully you get my point. Now stop giving me those puppy dog eyes!! Good doggy. |
