Ashes 2009- Predictions and Views

how do you think the series will go? possible key players etc

i think it will be 2-2 drawn series Australia retaining the urn

I reckon it will all come down to how our bowlers perform. This is a good time to be playing the aussies. Next year or so you've got a chance against them after that they'll build a new team and then we're fucked again.

i don't know why but i have a feeling england will be taking the urn back

lets hope so.

tbh honest as long as it ain't 5-0 again it will be an improvement

yer depends on whether we play two spinners in attack but i would pick swann as the spinner and pick flintoff (if fit), anderson, broad,hoggard and probably onions in attack

i think we will win 3-1 if flintoff is fit, bring him in for bresnan apart from that keep the same 11 that is playing the west indies now.

all depends if flintoff is fit and firing really as apart from kp he is the only England player that terrifies the aussies.

for some reason i can see Jimmy Anderson having a pivotal role in the outcome of the series

yeh i agree mate jimmy has turned into a world class bowler, also stuart broad is getting better and better

I have to say it may be a blessing if Fred isn't fit. He simply isn't the force he was in 2005 and won't have time to regain full fitness before the series. The key man for me is Anderson. If he can get the ball swinging we have a chance, otherwise I don't think we have quite enough. I hate to say it but Aussies to win 2-1.

dont agree with that mate, maybe his batting not as good now but he still is one of the best bowlers in the world. No way a onions,bresnan,hoggard,harmison etc would get more wickets than fred.
my team struass,cook,bopara,pieterson,collingwood,prior,flintoff,broad,s​wann,
anderson, onions.
