Thanks for all the entries so far, guys, and good luck especially to those who went for a 5-0 England whitewash! Needless to say, the predictions since 11am today have generally been a bit different!
-
C'mon rain. The only way my 1-1 might have a chance. Rain all of August.

Is it too late to change my prediction?? :-[

Yes, unfortunately! I think whoever is holding back entering until next Wednesday's deadline is very smart! The Ashes are always tricky to predict...
In a way, I'm glad England didn't have it their own way today. I would love to see another 2005 or 2009. They were incredible Test series and a great advert for Test cricket, and such a competitive and close fought series would be very timely for Test cricket right now...
-
Thanks! Sounds like a great competition!

I think 2-1 could definitely be on the cards...win @ TB, draw at Lord's, lose @ OT, win @ Durham, draw @ Oval.
-
3-1 to England for me. One rained off. We get complacent for one game and Clarke does a double hundred or something silly. Otherwise Eng are just too good.
-
5-0 to Australia... ahh that's not right, that was my last "Owzthat" Ashes when I was 9 in the 1980s. I miss that game... b*ll*cks to computer cricket matches, dice was and always will be far superior. :D

4-1 England

With the 1st test in the books, it's a great time to put your entry in for this.
Remember the deadline is Wednesday, 11.59pm.

Went 3-0 but thinking now 3-1.
Why? Well, a draw is likely somewhere. I'd thought two before I saw the weather forecast and the fact that the second back to back is at Durham, which might play into the hands of Australia with their deeper bowling reserves.

im going for 3-1 aussies will have to win one.

I have just noticed a typo in my entry. It's meant to say 5-0 not 1-1.
-
I went 3-1 England, did it before the Ashes started. Wish I didnt now though definately looking like a whitewash #fingerscrossed #touchwood

Hi Paul
I realise this will take a bit of work but any chance of a break down of the picks people went with eg 32 people went for a 3-2 Aust win etc.
Cheers

One of my teammates (Jan Marchant) actually commented on the post with that very breakdown - I didn't even ask him to, he just did it. He clearly has too much time on his hands! :)
-
Right, all I need if for England to win the last two and my 4-0 prediction is looking good but they will have to up their game a touch from the latest performance as unfortunately the Aussies will take plenty more positives out of the latest test than the English will.

Just a head's up that we will be announcing the winner of this bat in a YouTube video that will be shot on Friday, and uploaded shortly afterwards. Best of luck to the 26 names in the hat (all listed on our Facebook page, link in my signature below). For my sake, as long as Chris doesn't win, I'm happy! :)
