Series 2 Predictions

[Furball]

I'll be amazed if Australia don't wipe the floor with us in Perth.

 

[GuyFromLancs]

So would I....definately.

But given Eng's appalling record in first tests of away series and Aus excellent record at the Fortress Im being realistic here. As for Perth, I called our win there ages ago in this thread. We'll right the wrongs there from last time.

All empires collapse eventually

 

[GuyFromLancs]

Anyway -

Brisbane - Eng shock win

Adelaide - Draw

Perth - Aus win

Melbourne and Sydney - one England win and one draw.

Usually way off on these, I remember when I predicted Harbhajan would be the top bowler in England.

Result: Australia 1-3 England
Most runs: Clarke
Most wickets: Anderson
Left field selection: Doolan (not really left field but whatever)
Surprise dropping: Root
The Ashes Infractions: England with most banned posters
Other miscellaneous: Lyon to be unimpressive but manage to take a few cheap wickets and bowl a good spell in the final match thus preserving everyone's opinion about him not being completely mediocre

 

[wiff]

Result: England (Clarke will be the best captain though)
Most runs: England: someone who bats with both hands, allrounder for Australia
Most wickets: A sulky English bowler
Left field selection: A spinner for Australia
Surprise dropping: Billy Bowden
The Ashes Infractions: More ingenious time wasting
Other miscellaneous: Someone to do well on a debut

 

[centurymaker]

Result: Australia 2-2 England (or just maybe Aus 2-1 Eng)

Most runs:
1) Clarke
2)Bell/KP

Most wickets:
1) Harris
2) Siddle/Anderson.

Surprise dropping: One of the middle order Australian batsmen

 

[superkingdave]

Result: Australia 3-1 England
Most runs: Cook, Watson
Most wickets: Siddle, Broad
Left field selection: Holland
Surprise dropping: Rogers
Other miscellaneous: Shane Warne and Michael Vaughan to be involved in drunken brawl

 

[theegyptian]

Australia 375-4 after day one. Warner 155.

Australia to win 3-1

Warner top runscorer

Siddle wickets

I'll sleep through the whole series.

 

[Adders]

Australia 375-4 after day one. Warner 155.

Australia to win 3-1

Warner top runscorer

Siddle wickets

I'll sleep through the whole series.

I reckon you must have already nodded off......for those predictions are surely the product of a nightmare??

 

[Burgey]

Warner is going to be incredibly important to this series.

That's not a thought which especially fills me with a great deal of joy, mind you.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Warner is going to be incredibly important to this series.

That's not a thought which especially fills me with a great deal of joy, mind you.

Quite possibly your key player. He gets you off to a flyer a couple of times and you laughing but if he has a poor series you could be 30-3 too often.

 

[wpdavid]

Aus to win it 3-1
Most runs - Clarke and Pietersen
Most wickets - Harris and Broad
Selection (Aus) - Ashton Agar to be brought back for the crucial 4th test when it's tied at 1-1, taking back-to-back 5-fers and hit a couple of vital 50s
England - Compton to be brought into the side when Cook's back gives up the ghost

 

[Riggins]

Quite possibly your key player. He gets you off to a flyer a couple of times and you laughing but if he has a poor series you could be 30-3 too often.

but clarke makes two hundred when we're 3-30..

 

[hendrix]

Winner: England 3-0
Top runscorer: David Warner
Top wicket-taker: Broad
Poor series: Swann, Bell, Anderson, Hilfenhaus (if he plays)

other than Anderson who bowled well, winning this so far...

 

[andyc]

So far uvo the only one to still be in with a shot for the scoreline.

 

[Spikey]

ffs

 

[GIMH]

Result: Australia 4-1 England
Most runs: warner or Haddin you'd expect
Most wickets: Mitchell Johnson
Left field selection: Ben Stokes picked to bat top six
Surprise dropping: not dropping per se but Trott and Swann will both depart before the series is out, Prior on shaky ground too
The Ashes Infractions: ajdude
Other miscellaneous: Shane Warne will whine about Cook's negative captaincy as he leads us to our joint biggest defeat over there

Not bad

 

[theegyptian]
