No-one can make an accurate prediction about the Series until Glen McGrath has given his opinion....
So people. Any series BETS?
After Graeme Swann did the business for me in the home series, I've got my TENNER riding on Sir JIMMY, as leading ENGLAND wicket taker this time round.
What price did you get HKFC? I'd like to get involved in that...
I think Australia are a better team than they are given credit for. Problem for them is I think England are a far better team than the one we saw in the summer. Barring a number of injuries to key personel I think we are looking at England 3 Australia 0.
I can't access betting sites at work to check - I'll look when I get home.
I THINK it was 11/4. THINK.
I think that England will retain the Ashes - we are used to winning - The opposite to the Aussies. But the scoreline to be much closer than in the summer. The 3rd seamer point is very valid. My hunch is that Finn is our best bet. I can see Jonny Bairstow having a good series if he plays - he seems to have an excellent mentality for playing in Australia - I think Root will come good especially if he is back down to 6. We do need to see Trott revert back to the rock that he has so often been. I'm guessing that Cook will be fine - just an off-series in the summer.

Not to worry - I'll have a look when I get home, betting sites banned at work.
Be lucky to get above 9/4 now. All odds came in today..
From a personal perspective the Ashes in Australia is hopeless ...............

6am Morning to all you early-risers, or evening to those trying to stay up in England...or, in fact, hello to anyone around the world waiting for Ashes resumption. Just to let you know that the ESPNcricinfo team, both in Brisbane and London, will be with you from about 9am local time with all the build-up. For now, you can start by getting involved with one of our new toys for this series - The Ashes Witty Banter Zone, our new social hub (I think that's the term) where you can keep up with all the Ashes-related twitter action. It's all in association with our friends at Dave. If you tweet to @espncricinfo and include #ashesbanter your conversation will appear at the top of the page.
Of course, we'll also have all the usual fun for you here on the ball-by-ball with Gnasher (that's me, Andrew McGlashan), Alan Gardner and Brydon Coverdale, while reporting from the Gabba will be George Dobell, David Hopps, Dan Brettig alongside Jarrod Kimber on the drums, sorry video. There will also be columns from Mark Nicholas throughout the series and we have Ian Bell back with us for the players' view. It was, obviously, being our columnist which inspired him to be Man of the Series in England. So, get tweeting, coffee-drinking (or beer) and we'll see you in a couple of hours.
