So predictions?
Ashes Series 1-1, Home advantage counting. Mitchell Johnson to win a couple of tests to the delight of everybody on CW.
Champions Trophy winners England make best use of home conditions
Michael Clarke's back crumbling under the pressure of carrying Australia's batting
New Zealand to fall further into all time lows over all 3 formats
Sachin to retire after a miserable tour against Australia. India come out on top anyway with the inexperienced Aussie batting struggling against spin.
What are your predictions for 2013?

We've also got World Cup Qualifiers of which I'm massively scared Kenya could miss making it for the first time since 1996, spelling the end of cricket in Kenya period.

Australia are going to get pumped in England. I cannot for the life of me see their batsman standing up to the English attack on a regular enough basis.
