So, Jimmykins excels in swinging conditions again and no doubt will be leader of the pack heading off to Aus where he will be carted to all corners with the Kookaburra ball*

I still think either of the squads Smerkle posted looks better on paper than Aus's attack, unless Midge can find some form.

Johnson will be ok in Aus, as his stats suggest.

Only to be expected from you Lever - the High Priest of Doom and Gloom with nary a word of praise when such is due.
Living with the Scots for so long seems to have affected your sense of generosity!

PS - Have you taken the 25/1 offered on England losing the Ashes 5 - 0 yet or the 33/1 offered on Jimmy not taking more than 5 wickets in the series ?
