Aus batting still looks weak to me unless the batsmen have captured form since the last series (I hear Warner has). Assume pitches will be quicker to neutralise Swann, but that is going to help Andersen, Tremlett and Broad. Hard to see past an England win - surprised the odds are so close.

Hard fast pitches will help Ryan Harris, Johnson, Siddle too
Expecting a very close series indeed, Aussie top six looks a lot more solid than it did this summer with Warner back in form, Clarke fit, Bailey's temperament
Possibly a couple of high scoring draws too

First innings series supremacy on the spreads is a good one, as it gives you a position for the first half of each match. You've sold one team runs and bought the other one. Small stakes though as can be hundreds of runs either way if one team has a nightmare.
Thanks. I will have a little study on that. Greg James ashes radio show on i player is pretty good. Swanny is a pretty funny after a slow start. They mentioned these electrical storms forecast for days 3,4 and 5. |

Do we have bad weather for the first test? I haven't been keeping up to date with the build up.

Aussies look stronger in the batting with Clarke now fit. The fast pitches will not suit Jimmy as much as our green strips do.
Though I don't think they will improve the Aussie bowling much either, their bowlers are also suited to English conditions.
What the Aussies have underestimated is the English batting line up. Ours were awful in the main and cannot score as poorly as they did in the summer

Just out of interest, (sorry if already mentioned here), what is usually the best way to book and go out to watch a test?
Is it best to book a package from say Thomas Cook Sport, or just do it all separately? This is something I'd love to do in a few years time.
I hear there could be some storms on day 2/3.

I did the nz tour earlier in the year. I did it totally independently just booked hotels and tickets in advance. This really wasn't an issue on that tour as only one day sold out but getting the pick of the hotels especially in smaller cities was an issue.
I found people doing the tour to be really friendly and quickly had people to have a drink/ go out for a meal with. In fact I now have more cricket friends back home now to go to tests etc due to the nz tour.
