Australia shouldn't get excited - England will still win next year's Ashes :giggle:

[Ultimate_Game]

Now I'm certain the winners will be Aussies :haha: These pommies never learn :giggle:

[asterix]

Oh there you go.. :giggle:

[punjabi_khota]

Well he makes sense though. As shyte as England's performance has been, OZ doesn't seem to be very well put together ATM. i would bet on England win in the Ashes in England.

Eagerly awaiting Spiderguy's opinions

I just read the comments in that article and the english fans are moaning SA cricket team is boring to watch. Seriously how deluded are they? :hysterical: Yep Why would anyone watch ABDV Amla Styen Morkel when u can watch Cook Trott or clouderson.

They just rolled over the Aussies in ODI's in which England suck the most. So I don't think its over-confidence, the Aussies r just plain bad atm.

So I don't think its over-confidence' date=' the Aussies r just plain bad atm.[/quote'] Means nothing since Test match performance of England since they beat us has gone significantly down. Lost to Pakistan badly, drew with SL, lost to SA. Now KP is gone. I would be very cautious before making wild predictions after losing a series badly.

Isn't it too early to make Ashes predictions?

[maniac]

Australia batting is really vulnerable...even in Indian tour they had a couple of collapses against our mighty attack.....If you look at the Eng-SA series,it was the batting that made the difference...As far as bowling goes Eng is marginally better than Aus...So yes Eng are the favourites but not at the point where their supporters can gloat.

For English it's never too early to make Ashes predictions. I am sure they can make prediction for 2018 Ashes as well if you ask them.

true. cowan,marsh,haddin struggled against our attack so leave them. warner can't play spin. ponting is over and will not be able to score another century. hussey and clarke are good though.

[Chalks]

So there you go. As per usual, for England every series between Ashes series is just preparation for the next Ashes series. So their ass-whooping by the Proteas can be rationalised away as merely being preparation for next Ashes. :giggle: Australia probably won't win back the Ashes next year, but at least they take every Test series they play in seriously.

I wont be surprised after seeing England's bowling in this series if Hilfenhaus, Siddle, Cummins, Pattinson, Starc, Harris turn out to be a better bowling attack of the two, next year. Though Aussie batting has the impotency to make England bowling look better.
