Quite right Wickets - a shy, retiring nation - never ones to let their mouths run away with themselves! :)
Fattus, I'm blushing too much to respond....  :)
At the end of the day, it's not whether you win or lose but how the game is played!

4-0 Aussies
Our bowling will be just too good, Nathan Lyon to dominate the English.

Our bowling is certainly a great strength, even with Harris' little setback.

Here's to hoping Mitch Marsh gets the nod ahead of Watto. He needs to put in a good effort with the ball to get in though I think. Need more of us quality West Aussies in there!!!

I think if we get on top early with the bat in each game we will win, looking for a big series from Starc to show he does have a ticker in the longer forms. Pretty excited for some late nights coming up - the missus not so excited!

Aussies are getting a lot of batting practice against some ropey bowling attacks in the warm ups. Kent's attach last week was probably worse than some in the Kent premier league last week. Assume that as the Aussies scored 440 in a day against Essex there's isn't that great either

Essex opened the bowling with Jesse Ryder. Take from that what you will!


If Mitchell starc bowlers anything like he has done in the last year, Then I fear for us English. Could be a long summer.

Lyon to dominate the English

Seem to remember your poor England quote before the ODIs against the excellent kiwis.

Do you not think he will? I think the Mitchell Johnson fear factor (yes I said fear, haha) is going to provide some extremely spinner friendly wickets. If Moeen Ali plays he may even take a wicket.

Will Joe Root make it through the entire series this time round?

Of course they are poor, you can't ignore years of being tripe because of one close series in home conditions. Test cricket is another beast all together, I have seen nothing against either the WI or NZ to suggest England are a good test side.

If England are to be competitive I think it will all come down to Root, he is the one English player that would make the Aussie side. He should be skipper ahead of Cook in my opinion.

Well it's not long now before the first match which is always a good indicator for the series so we shall see.
