Changing my surprise dropping to Mitchell Johnson, given the form of Haze and Starc, the quality of Harris and the fact Johnson has never really done it in England before.

I can genuinely see any of the four quicks being man of the series but then also see them not playing a single game.

Result - 2-2 Draw (I will say I think Australia will be the better side, but I say there'll be at least two collapses)
Leading run scorer - Root
Leading wicket taker - Anderson (though certain Aussie bowlers will average less)
Surprise package - Rogers - will outscore Warner.
Biggest Failure - Ballance, though arguably it would be more of a surprise if he succeeded
Surprise dropping - Johnson, two average Tests leads to him getting dumped.

Rogers can bat for hours, Smith will be disgustingly prolific, Clarke/Voges/Watson etc. will be decent and the tail will chip in. Warner might slap a few fifties but I just feel that in the conditions, current form and English bowlers he may struggle.

I see this being true. He won't have bowled for 5 weeks when he goes into the 1st Test. Strauss wants him kept fresh. :wacko:
