Ashes Predictions

Okay Ginger you may have won this one. Impressive list of predictions.

Some staff member called Tom Coghlin made a very accurate set of predictions in the Ashes HQ

 

[Blaze 18]

Australia to win the Ashes 2-1
Top runscorer - Jonathan Trott
Top wicket taker - Graeme Swann

Wrong on all three counts

Thought number 9 was pretty good.

Very good actually.

 

[Somerset]

Result: 3-1 Australia - right margin, wrong team
Top runscorer: Kevin Pietersen - wrong
Top wicket taker: Ben Hilfenhaus - wrong
Dumpings: Stephen Finn, Marcus North, Nathan Hauritz - as they say, 2/3 ain't bad...
Debutant/Returning players: Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith - both correct
Surprise Packet: All of the tests to go five days - wrong, Australia to win the series - wrong, but England to have the two leading run scorers - wrong though they finished with the highest and third highest

Not a particularly successful bunch of predictions there, in fact I barely tipped anything correctly.

Sounds intriguing. I can't find the piece though. Never mind, I'm sure he was spot-on as usual.

Top runscorer - Clarke and Swann
Top wicket taker - Dougeh!!! and Broad
Dumpings - Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Bell, Finn, Anderson (Swann retains his place for his batting).

When has he ever made a good one?

 

[honestbharani]

you seem to have double tonned up on the beer, Burgey..



That said, I do think Australia will stage a pretty strong comeback at Perth. May not be good enough to win them the match but still expecting a strong performance from them.

See now, this is a good prediction.

Bad human

How good is it when a supporter of the lesser Ashes playing country has to look back nigh on a decade to take some solace out of the context?

 

[GIMH]

Remind me which of those countries has won more series in the last decade, buffoon
