Agree. This one. A thread for the Ashes. Not some mish mash thread with kiwis and one day games and s
t like that. This should be a lot closer than the 5-0 score line from last time - unless the heat continues. If there's no green tracks and damp conditions I think Jimmy and the also rans will struggle.

Rashid in the squad, do you reckon, with the weather recently they will play 2 spinners in place of Ballance?
Hard one to call, Lancashire got one upon Yorkshire tonight at Old Trafford in a 20/20 by playing their spinners, admittedly it was only by 29 runs.Rashid in the squad, do you reckon, with the weather recently they will play 2 spinners in place of Ballance?
I'm super excited for this Ashes series, can't wait.
I'd be utterly delighted to see England win this one.

Am off to The Oval for days 1 and 4 and very much looking forward to it (though I prefer watching at Lords generally).
England's bowlers are going to be the key. If they perform well, it could be a great Ashes for the English. If not, I suspect we're going to struggle...

A really difficult series to call for me. Both sides seem to have a reasonably solid batting line up. Neither side have a world class spinner. They both have two good seamers (Jimmy and Broad + Johnson and Starc) however the 3rd seamer position for both teams isn't quite settled. Think we'll see lots and lots of runs this summer.

I'm not too sure on that England batting line up. An opener who has only played in 2 tests
A number 3 who currenty only looks capable of playing french cricket
A number 4 who is in a horrific run of form that is also affecting his slip fielding
