They've started as they finished . The top order got out woefully again only to be bailed out by Haddin and Johnson .

England should pummel this lot without any problems , they're average at best.

Unfortunately, other than a few exceptions, we are average at best too. Don't rule out yet another England batting collapse tomorrow.

I'd disagree with that to be honest . Like for like we have more big game players and match winners than the Aussies .

We have arguably the worlds best bowling attack with Broad , Swann and Anderson a great middle order and a game changer in KP. I do think we're vulnerable at the top order .

Cook and Carberry are untested at this level together . If we win the Ashes i think we could go back to the ICC's No1 team .

More than average i think .

We have a very good bowling attack. Anderson on his day is in the top 3 bowlers in the world.

The batting side is where I am worried. Last time in Australia, Cook was the stand out player and Bell was the man who really helped us in the last Ashes. We need a couple of the batters to really step up and have a world class series. I hope its KP but I wouldn't put any money on it.

You're thinking like it's 20/20 Pyjama cricket . Its a test series . Loads of cricket to be played yet .

I don't think so.

Anderson/Broad/ANOther/Swann v Johnson/Siddle/Harris/Lyon........ I'm still backing England........ (I wish Onions was out there though).

Trott worries me though, and the Shackle Draggers seems to have worked out KP..........

Trott to leave Ashes tour due to stress related illness .

Oh it's all gone quiet over here. Embarrassing wasn't it.

co durham boy

Different pitch and conditions in Adelaide mate to be honest , lets see who they bring out as a number 3 or they bump someone up the order .

The first 3 need to take the shine off the new ball and build some runs and then the so called ' entertainers' need to play .

Interesting
