Let's have some ashes predictions before a ball is bowled.

Leading Aussie run scorer: Steve Smith
Leading Aussie wicket taker: Mitchell Johnson
Leading English run scorer: joe root
Leading English wicket taker: Jimmy Anderson
Series result: Aussies 3-1
Man of the series: Steve smith
Other: Cook to step down as captain mid series.

What have you got?

[iand123]

Leading Aussie run scorer: Michael Clarke
Leading Aussie wicket taker: Hazelwood
Leading English run scorer: Cook
Leading English wicket taker: Anderson
Series result: 2-1 (either way more than likely to Australia)
Man of the series: Clarke (before retiring from international cricket)

[KIPPERS]

Aussies fail to win a match
Clarke stands down after back problems flair up
Smith breaks down in tears like Kim Hughes after humiliating 5-0 drubbing
Johnson fails to deliver a legal ball after 33 no balls and wides in first over then fain's injury
Starc injured in warm up
Lyon top Wkt taker for Aussie's with 4 wickets at 451

Best wishes Glenn

Leading Aussie run scorer: David Warner
Leading Aussie wicket taker: Mitchell Starc
Leading English run scorer: Alistair Cook
Leading English wicket taker: Jimmy Anderson
Series result: Aussies 2-1
Man of the series: Mitchell Starc

[iand123]

Leading Aussie run scorer: David Warner
Leading Aussie wicket taker: Mitchell Starc
Leading English run scorer: Alistair Cook
Leading English wicket taker: Jimmy Anderson
Series result: Aussies 2-1
Man of the series: Mitchell Starc
Other: Cook to step down as captain at the end of the series.
Watson, Rodgers and Clarke to retire at the end of the series

Haddin too if they win as well!

[FattusCattus]

Sadly, if it went that way, history would dictate that Cook would grimly hang on until the end.

Leading Aussie run scorer: Michael Clarke
Leading Aussie wicket taker: Mitchell Starc
Leading English run scorer: joe root
Leading English wicket taker: Mark Wood
Series result: 2-2
Man of the series: Ali Cook

Other: Something is brewing in English cricket, the Lion awakes from it's slumber and England actually compete - book these predictions for the end of the series, and then tell me I'm mad:

Cook will score runs
Bell will be poo
Root will score loads and become a hero
Stokes will become Botham-lite, smacking a few and bowling a few
Ali will disappear from the reckoning, Rashid replacing him for the last 2 tests
Wood will be a revelation
Broad will be poo
Anderson will be average, take a few and bow out gracefully after the series
Buttler will only make one score - but it will win a test.

Bayliss will be hailed a genius and will drop in a couple of inspired selections.

Joe Root scores record number of runs in an Ashes series

[edge]

Leading Aussie run scorer: Warner
Leading Aussie wicket taker: Hazlewood
Leading English run scorer: Root
Leading English wicket taker: Broad
Series result: 2-2
Man of the series: Stokes
Other: Broad will bowl tripe for at 50% of the time but win at least one test match with a spell in which he remembers to pitch it up
Smith won't get many
That Mitchell Johnson, his bowling will be sh*te
At least 5 players' careers will be more or less over in test match cricket after this series
England bring in at least one debutant who does well.

This banter is much more like it, guys! It gets a bit hot and heavy on here sometimes....

[skip1973]

Aussie runs = Warner
Aussie wickets = Hazlewood
