Hayden - past it
Katich - will fail in eng
Ponting - probably back on the booze
Hussey - Mr Cricket is not as good as he thinks he is
M clarke - only hope
Symonds - back on the booze
Haddin - Will either get 0 or smash 75
Lee - Lost some pace
M Johnson - only quality bowler left in Aus
S Clarke - good player
Krezja - its either him or Paul Robinson from Neighbours - tough choice
On the other hand
Strauss - back in form
Cook - quality player - problem is he gets to 55 and then out - but at least he gets there
Bell - uselss - i'm better than him - time for Shah. Bringing back Vaughan might be an option
K Pietersen - World Class batsman
Collingwood - hit and miss - might drop him for vaughan and shah in for bell
Flintoff - Amazing bowler - cant bat as well as he usd to
Prior - dodgy keeper - batting is getting better though
S Broad - Future legend - he is a quality bowler and averages 38 with bat
Anderson- Hit and miss - but when on form he is a legend
Harmison - MR SHIT - kick him out for good - bring in Sidebottom.
Panesar - the guy is being slated at the moment and rightly so, needs to get his act together - Swann is doing ok. Maybe Adil Rashid a young legspinner could be thrown into the deep end.
Overall Ashes will be a 0-0 bore draw
2 CRAP teams
haha one guess where you're from?
Hayden won't go to Ehngland. You will be playing either Chris Rogers of Phil Hughes. Either will go quite well. Rogers is quality and deserves a chance before it is too late. Hughes will play over 100 tests, but the decision to play him will rest in how he goes in tour matches (yes he will be taken on tour, esp given that he is a quality keeper too, and will be backup for haddin)
Katich has an arseload of runs in county cricket, loves playing there, and scores hundreds in West Indies, India, Aus... doesnt matter where he is, he adapts, plays unconventionally, and gets it done.
Ponting will fail if (and he will) goes as skipper
Hussey's problem is that just about every cricketer goes through a little slump after their initial first successful burst. It is highlihgted and effecting his game more because he had to wait so long to get a game. This means that he is now a very senior player, and needs to take that responsibility just as his battng is returning to the atmosphere
Clarke will smash runs, as he has been doing
Symonds head is nowhere, and yes, probably back on the drink.
Haddin. His 94 the other day (robbed of a ton by a stupid shot... he was NEVER going to get out to any conventional method) was his first 50. You may be off the mark with 0 or 75, its more like 15-30 or 100+
Lee needs to seriously get over the marriage break-up, get his mojo bac and take fuckers' heads off again.
Johnson will fail if he doesn't bowl better lines.
They need a leggie. If McGain isn't fit, or performing, the selectors HAVE to be telling NSW to give Casson a go. (Thornly hates him, bowls steven smith for hours before he'll think of giving him a roll (ODD game the other day, casson picked as a bowler gets 1 over)). Their options other than that are Joh n Holland or Daniel Doran. Holland is a good young bowler, but too green. Doran isnt good enough (better than krezja though). Aussie offies are no good, because our decks are too hard and bouncy, they get no grip, and so our offies are half as good as everywhere else.
They desperately need Stuart Clark back. Siddle is quality, but needs to be able to make that next step. Noffke lacks penetration. Hilfenhaus is good, but unproven, Tait had serious problems in englnd. Clark will do well there, exploit bounce, varies pace well.
Other option is someone like Dirk Nannes, has a bit f county experience, and has been lethal on pommy decks.
