3rd thread - Ashes predictions

[marc71178]

So, a whole bunch of annoying, unoriginal pommie posters have sprung up to contest for the worst poster award, as expected.

Don't worry, you've still got it in the bag.

 

[trundler]

Yes, considering that it has been confirmed and can therefore no longer be a prediction.

The post works both ways tbh

 

[andruid]

2-1 Australia
Most runs Steve Smith (Australia), Woakes (England)
Most wickets: Cummins ties with Hazlewood (Australia), Woakes
Dropped Bancroft, Burns, Broad, Moeen Ali,
Bold prediction: Austrailia win at Edgbaston and lose at Lords
Worst poster: The Ashes brings out the worst in all of us

Halfway there...

 

[wpdavid]

Is it too late to change my 2-2 prediction to 0-4?
Way too optimistic as ever.

 

[Starfighter]

That's the one. Still expecting this to go the India 2017 way, especially if England prepare wickets which seam more.

 

[CricAddict]

Scoreline: 3-1 Australia
Most runs: Steve Smith
Most wickets: Woakes
Surprise package: Bancroft
Disappointment: Joe Root

1,2 and 5 on track so far. Believe 3 and 4 will happen in the next test.

[Victor Ian]

Anderson is coming back in the last test and taking 19.

 

[Burgey]

It'll be a big effort in a losing cause.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

I was originally going to write: "Anderson, Broad", and then decided not to.

[Burgey]

Can’t imagine too many people having Burns and Head the most consistent batsmen after Smith in the first two tests. Both shown good temperament in a tough batting series

Yeah full credit to Burns. You can get lucky and still not score but he's ridden his luck well and made important runs for England.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Very impressive. A bit late to make that prediction though.

 

[Starfighter]

Prediction for both the Ashes and afterwards: Archer is going to become the Virat Kohli of bowling. As in aside from actually having a brilliant career, he will get effusive praise from the media etcetera for so much as breathing.

Is that really a prediction? Seems like it’s already happening.
