I predict 3-1 Aus, instead of the 5-0 if he, and everyone else was fit.

Can't see there being too many draws, but I guess you can never totally trust the English climate. McGrath being out certainly gives us much more of a chance (obviously), but we really need to win the 2nd test.
If we manage it (big if) I'll go 3-2 Oz.
Course what we really need now is Warne to injure himself in a suitably bizarre way. A groin strain seems apt or maybe third-degree burns to the scalp from the laser treatment he's having. Which doesn't seem to be working, BTW. How cack did his barnet look today?!?!

3-1 to Australia.
I see no reason to change that opinion just because Matthew Hoggard was proved right and Glenn tripped up over Warney's zimmer frame.
Brett Lee is fully capable of stepping into the breach.
Oh, wait...

Mcgrath only needs 4 runs to become the highest scoring #11 in history.

Before the series I pegged it 3-1 to Aus.
I sincerely hope Glenda isn't out for the series, as I want to watch the best against the best, whoever wins.
Also, one has to expect a crucial Eng player to pick up an injury too to balance it out, so the original prediction ought to stand.
But if McG is out and if Eng can field a basically unchanged 11 throughout the series, I would move one Aus victory over into the Eng column -- can't see much of a case to argue that a draw becomes more likely; so to my surprise, I'd say 2-2.

Changed my mind.
Without Mcgrath for the whole series, England will win it.

Yeah thats more like it, where is the English optimism from you pomms on the forum
I dont think there will be any drwas in this series, so i think England 3-2 Australia sonds about right. Even when The masters's back [or one of the two masters] he won't have another Lord's slope to destroy us with. I think we will win at the Oval for some wierd reason.
