Anyone else cant wait for this??
Australia bringing over to england the weakest side theyve brought over in a good 20 years and the golden age of mcgrath, warne, waughs etc is well and truly over.
But as weak as australia have tended to get over the last 12months england just seem to be going further and further backwards and despite the 2-0 series win over the west indies, australia remain firm favourites to retain the ashes.
players to look out for this summer:
England -
Stuart Broad - best young prospect we`ve had for years now
Kevin Pietersen - if big kev gets going the aussies will struggle bad
Andrew Flintoff - does freddy still have it left in the tank? forget all this all rounder bollocks flintoff is now exclusively a strike bowler who`ll get runs lower down the order. But he`s still our best bowler
Australia -
Ricky Ponting - As ever ponting will be the highest run scorer in the series
Phil Hughes - Looks a natural opener, such a shame though we`ve once again made the mistake of allowing aussie players to come over here pre-ashes and get a feel of the pitches.
Brett Lee - Question marks over his fitness, on his day aussies best hope of getting 5fors!
my prediction:
A battling 2-1 win for australia that sees it go down right to the wire
