[paulcooper4]

I'm going to them in Melbourne. Hope you're all jealous.

C'MON THE AUSSIES!!!

I think the absence of Vaughan and Flintoff has been good for england though as it has resulted in the emergence of Cook, Collingwood and Bell in players that can do a job out there.

Its in the bowling that Englansd need to step up a notch if the are to compete in Australia, they were excellent in the last Ashes series but havent replicated that form.

For me the Aussies should win, but England will run them close.

Spot on. England bowled out of their skins last summer and the aussies (McGrath and warne apart) bowled poorly. That was the reason we won.
hoggard is struggling at the moment, Harmisson's form is all over the shop but he should do well in Australia, Panesar is a big improvement on Giles but will he cope with the pressure. The loss of Simon Jones is a big blow and who know how well Flintoff will bowl?
All in all, I think England would do well to tie the series and will probably lose 3-1.

glen mcgrath on ssn:

"australia are twice the team that played in the ashes last year"

but isnt he the bloke thatsaid australia would win the last series 5-0?

If England are to have any chance Steve Harmison and Hoggard have to perform better than they did against Pakistan.

I hope good old Steve Harmison bows like he did the last time he came to Australia.

when aussies are "hoping", theyre losing

Have to say, the fact that the Aussies have gone on an army boot camp 2 months beforehand is a bit worrying, can't see our lads doing that, they'd be pissed all the time.

Aussies are going to win. They've got a full side to pick from. We're missing key players. They have home advantage. They're majorly pissed off. Cue, Aussie win.

Should be an amazing series though.

Sorry but who gives ****?

BTW - england will be whitewashed.
