Ashes Predictions

[Furball]

Think Warner and Smitty will both crack their first doubles this series.

I'm not expecting either of them to get a bowl tbh.

 

[WalkingWicket]

Result- Australia 3-1
Leading run scorer- Clarke - just get the feeling he'll be unstoppable this summer.
Leading wicket taker- Broad (will bowl mostly rubbish but will pick up annoying 5fers)/Harris
Surprise package- Shaun Marsh
Biggest Failure- Ballance
Surprise dropping- Ballance won't be a surprise, so I'm gonna say Moeen.

 

[MW1304]

Result: 2-2
Leading Run Scorer: Smith
Leading Wicket Taker: Starc
Surprise Package: Wood
Biggest Failure: Warner
Surprise Dropping: Moeen

 

[Riggins]

I'm not expecting either of them to get a bowl tbh.

 

[Spikey]

TPC's got a bowing average of 2 since the WC so

 

[Hooksey]

Result-Australia 4-0 (the weather to save England the indignation of another 5-0 whitewash)
Leading run scorer: Dave Warner
Leading wicket taker: Johnno (to be the difference between the sides again!)
Surprise package: That it only ends 4-0 and not 5.
Biggest Failure: Choose an Englishman - I'll go with Cookie.
Surprise dropping: Cook to either get dropped or spared when he should have been.

 

[Antihippy]

This Ashes is going to start the era of the Haze.

 

[andruid]

Result- Series Drawn 2-2
Leading run scorer- Adam Lythe
Leading wicket taker- Mitchell Starc
Surprise package- The Lords wicket
Biggest Failure- Australia's Channel 9 commentary team
Surprise dropping- Broad, made scapegoat when England fail to win from strong position

 

[Gob]

This Ashes is going to start the era of the Haze.

Yeah hazers going to be unstoppable if he stays fit

 

[Cabinet96]

This was a good post. But it does nothing to weaken Furball's Ian Bell agenda.

 

[Howe_zat]

England 5-0
Leader run scorer - The Burnley Lara
Leading wicket taker Moeenalitharan
Surprise package - Graeme Swann as host of Pointless
Biggest Failure - Sky Go
Surprise dropping - Phlegm from CW commentary

 

[harsh.ag]

Have a feeling we are going to see something special from the less celebrated Aussies - Voges, Marsh, and Hazelwood.

 

[Shady Slim]

Result-Australia 3-1
Leading run scorer- Smith
Leading wicket taker- Hazlewood
Surprise package- Twatto
Biggest Failure- Ballance, though KP isn't going to get a single run all series
Surprise dropping- Broad

 

[Spark]

If Broad bowls badly enough to get dropped then Australia are in for a very, very good series.

i'm just very anti-Broad so he gets my hopeful drop prediction rather than my logical drop prediction

 

[Adders]

Result-Australia 4-0 (the weather to save England the indignation of another 5-0 whitewash)
Leading run scorer: Dave Warner
Leading wicket taker: Johnno (to be the difference between the sides again!)
Surprise package: That it only ends 4-0 and not 5.
Biggest Failure: Choose an Englishman - I'll go with Cookie.
Surprise dropping: Cook to either get dropped or spared when he should have been.

Welcome back Hooksey.

Hmmmm, some pretty bold predictions there son........the only one I can see coming to fruition is Warner as top scorer. In fact I'd be willing to have an Avatar bet with you on all of the others combined if you're game?

If any one if the following happens you can have my Avatar for 3 months, if none of them do I get yours...........simple as that.

- Australia win 4 or 5 - 0
- Johnson as leading wicket taker for series
- Cook the biggest failure (I guess this would be lowest run scorer for the series out of top 6 bats from both sides??)
- Cook dropped during the series (not sure what you mean by "spared".....if he plays all 5 tests then he hasn't been dropped, anyone's opinion on whether that is the right call or not is really irrelevant))

I look forward to you backing your calls and accepting the challenge............

I was the only one here who predicted Adam Voges' debut ton.

I did get a laugh out of you welcoming me back
