First thread - Who will be the top run scorer and wicket taker?

[Burgey]

Simple things please simple minds.

Curious you say that about what is, after all, your own avatar.

No it is someone messing about with my avatar. Difference.

First sighting of Dud Root makes me believe that he's a stunt double for Prince William:

Should you crims be taking the piss out of YOUR future king?

Will have politely seceded after Charles III and Queen Camilla stumble onto the throne.

Dud's haircut suggests he's been walking north in a stiff westerly.

Top wicket takes Starc, Top run scorer, Ian Bell. There back on topic

I'd like to see Root put up the order.. Probably into 3.. I think if that can happen he'll have his way with the Aussie attack. He's a brilliant up and coming batsman and I'd like to see him contesting against Cook for highest run scorer in the series.

Bowling wise.. No idea. Haha

Ian Bell

James Pattinson.

Bell & Anderson

Bell and Johnson.

And I think all of the wicket taker suggestions were fair shouts.

I'd probably go with Cook and Anderson myself, however, if I was betting I'd probably have a flutter on Bell, who'd have more friendly odds. Just get the feeling he'll have a good series, and I really like his game when it comes to batting against seam friendly attacks in England.

 

[Daemon]

very friendly attack

 

[GIMH]

Swann for top wicket taker - he'll love all the left handers in the Australian top order.

Which way round...?

Pretty sold on Clarke for reasons mentioned earlier. Worried about Jimmy lasting the series having seen him distinctly sub-par in Kiwiland, Broad and Finn won't hold it together over five tests, and Swann has question marks over fitness too. Saying that, it's not like an Aussie will play all five, so Swanny's my shout.

Very good from these two

Mate we could pick the ****ing Teletetubbies to bat from 3-6 and you still wouldn't beat us

Our lack of runs coupled with resounding victory bears fruit for this theory IMO

 

[Neil Pickup]

I don't even remember making that prediction but it's turned out as a rather good shout that actually makes me look like I know what I'm talking about so no complaints here.

 

[Burgey]

Good to see my faith in Bell was vindicated.
