Ashes Predictions

Athlai

Not Terrible
Scoreline: 0-0 (every match will most likely end up with 1 wicket needed for Australia, who are unable to get out Monty) (with Colly at the other end)
Top Runscorers: Clarke to return to form, Monty accumulates enough runs whilst blocking out the last day to edge past Collingwood's solid total of 100 runs taking 2345342 balls throughout series
Top Wicket Takers: Johnson to stop his poor run against England, Monty to come in for Swann (who could only pick up the one 10 wicket match haul during the 3 warm up games) for the first test and quite frankly never look back
Dumpings: Siddle for Hauritz, the entire England team except Monty
Debutant/Returning Players: thus allowing the previously unvailable Romsford U11 Cobras reserve team to return to the set up, resulting in an improved allround performance
Surprise Package: North to have a decent series, Sir Monty to receive knighthood for retaining the urn single-handedly (literally, when his right-hand is amputated after a freak Pedalo incident) and beating the aussies in their own backyard for the first time since Gatting!
:lol: the bolded line was bloody awesome

AUS win win @ least 2 test. England @ least 1. But AUS will certainly win the Ashes.

Ponting will have a summer with the bat similar to 2006/07

Swan will continue to progress as an off-spinner.

Thats the only sure things i'm willing to predict.

Hopefully Australia win a dull series 2-1, with no one really standing out, like last time. :ph34r:

Seriously though, I reckon we'll have an Ashes 2005 style stormer. Teams are evenly matched.
