Couldn't see a thread to thought I'd start one.

Massive 6 months of cricket a head.

Can see England hammering Australia. The Aussies look a shambles. Only Clarke would get in the England.

Can see England winning 6 or 7 of the tests.
 
It's almost looking like it's going to be too easy which means it almost certainly won't be. I think we'll win it but that the Aussies will put up much more of a fight than anticipated. Think I'll have a bet on 3-1 England series win.
 
England are masters at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Aussies are in turmoil. Internal issues, disciplinary issues, loss of respect for Aussies in general, drugs etc etc

We're bound to get humped silly as they all play to prove a point.
 
England to win comfortably on home soil, but the Aussies will make it a tight contest when we tour Down Under at Christmas.

Still think both series will be won by England.
 
So the squad has been picked. My side would be

1.Cook(c)
2.Root
3.Trott
4.Pietersen
5.Bell
6.Birstow
7.Prior(wk)
8.Broad
9.Swan
10.Anderson
11.Finn

So Bresnan and Onions would miss out.
