Bloody hell that’s gone quickly.

For you, maybe. Not the rest of us.

For you, maybe. Not the rest of us.

You weren’t here for all of it so can’t comment you blow-in

 

[Burgey]

Fair point. I will withdraw my comment.

And instead substitute 31 August 2006.

Why not have two?

@morgieb How very dare you?

Most wickets: Cummins, tied with Clouderson
Dropped players: Travis Head, Marcus Harris, both Bairstow, and Buttler, Broad, Burns, Lyon
Random prediction: Steve Smith to get Joe Root out

Harris to last 2 tests

2 more than he should have played

 

[Gremlin]

I've never been so underwhelmed for an Ashes Series quite as much as I have for this one in my life. Maybe it's domestic factors (as I write both wife and son have Covid, at least they're recovering now) or maybe it's the average quality of both sides, maybe recent scandals have shaken my love of the game or maybe The Ashes just seems to come round so quickly.

But anyway, here goes

Winner Oz
Scoreline 2-1 (locals may say otherwise but Brisbane weather forecast looking too wet for any result possible, Eng fancy their chances in a day nighter, Oz to win 2 of the other three tests, the 5th test hard to call currently!)
Most runs Labu
Most wickets Hazelwood
Compton-Miller Medal Haze
Surprise packet (g00d) Hameed
Surprise packet (bad) Buttler
Players to get a call up/ dayboo Livingstone (as T20 success is an instant leap frog into an Eng test side)

[NotMcKenzie]

Winner: Australia
Scoreline: 3-0
Most runs: Smith or Labuschagne
Most wickets: Cummins
Compton-Miller Medal: Who cares?
Surprise packet (g00d): None. The series will be completely unsurprising.
Surprise packet (bad): See above. Although I am concerned about Lyon's form.
Players to get a call up/ dayboo: Richardson (I hope)

Random prediction: No-one's paying any attention anyway.

A lot of people tipping Marnus to have a bad series. Why?

Random prediction - We'll see concussion subs twice. And I hope Cummins is not benevolent and allows the Australians to sledge the hell out of the Racism XI

 

[Starfighter]

All of those who predicted Anderson to be dropped/'rested' are already right.

 

[Gnske]

He'll be D R O P P E D again
