England's international summer - Bangladesh, Australia, Scotland, Pakistan

So we are currently holding the Ashes, mid ranked Test and an improving one day side and holders of the World Twenty20 crown. What can we expect from this summer of international cricket? Will we head into this big winter in good form as a team etc?

Two Tests against Bangladesh
1 ODI against Scotland
5 ODIs against Australia
3 ODIs against Bangladesh
4 Tests against Pakistan
2 T20s against Pakistan
5 ODIs against Pakistan

I do like the squad that we have picked for the first test starting on Thursday, should really be an easy 2-0 win against BAN and then take it from there, only series that we could lose is the ODIs against AUS, everything else I am 90 percent confident of a series win.

Predict that Swann, Pietersen will get a rest at some point maybe miss the first two tests against Pakistan.

With all the doom and gloom from the football. No1s mentioned the brilliant achievement of the England cricket team securing an unassailable 3-0 lead in the 5 match ODI series against Australia. It's been a excellent all round effort albeit against a slightly weakened Aussie team, it's always good to get that winning habit against ur rivals especially with a big test series 6 months away.

Yeah about time sometime joined me here lol. In all honesty this series is the biggest bit of international cricket this summer and it clashes with the World Cup and Wimbledon which is a bit of a shame.

Anyway it is a good win. The Aussie batting is strong but in the three games has failed to click and do any real damage (of course we've bowled well) but yeah the bowling is hardly going to keep the England team awake at night, the only real threat in that lineup would be Tait who has only just come in the side and can only bowl two over spells, so simply see him off everytime.

Think this England side has a real good chance of winning the world cup next year.

Wish we were playing these countries at football. I think two of those would be winnable...

Another test win against Pakistan meaning we go two nil up with two to play. Good stuff, although what the hell was Broad doing, he can be stupid sometimes.

Some cracking ties there.
