AB, I reckon the Aussies' win series 3-1-1......what's your thoughts.
 
Agreed with Clark he was my pick for most wickets.

I'm wondering exactly WHERE Australia holds an advantage over England ?

The only reason I didn't wade into that hugely generous price on an England series win is the fact I don't plan on cheering for the Poms for the next three months

Hopefully Australia can mop up the tail quickly on Day 2. My fear is that the pommy bastards will scrape another 50 or so and provide nuisance value to the bowlers in the morning.

Yeah, I think 3-1 or maybe 2-1 mate.

Still can't believe Clark missed out and they went with Hauritz

sounds great, but HOW ??

I think England will bowl better than Australia (no great feat) and I reckon they're just about on equal terms in the batting. On paper and on repuation Australia should hold an edge in the batting dept but our guys are far too prone to losing concentration and gifting their wickets away nowadays.

England 9 for 420-odd at the moment, you watch when we come out to bat it'll appear to be a totally different game. They'll make our batsmen play, their spinners will build pressure and I think they'll whip us out for considerably less than they're about to make

You'd think, with 4 balls at Panesar, Johnson would attack the stunps, or at least make him play

this is exactly what I've been yelling at the TV all evening ! Not just about side-arm pie chucker Johnson but the whole crew.  

Our bowlers are NEVER smart enough to attack the stumps against tail enders or on 4th & 5th day wickets. They bowl "fast bouncey Australian wicket" length 365 days of the year.   

Goddamn, Johnson is gonna get no-balled for bowling under-arm soon if his left arm gets any lower. What a horrible action this guy has.  

Australia will be 2-30 at lunch

The English tail mustering 99 in the morning session is massive in the context of this game..

Australia need to bat for 2 days if they are going to win this game.

crucial little period this for Australia, their middle order has had a habit of pissing away good starts from the top three in recent years.

wouldn't be surprised to see us 7 or 8 for 400 soon
