3/1 Aussies. Just don’t think we have enough batting.

Nor in the bowling attack sadly.
Anderson - I wonder if their pitches and his age is a bad combination.
Broad - didn’t have a great summer.
Ali - not convinced (and yes, I do know that his stats are quite good now, so maybe I’m wrong on him).
Woakes could do well.
Overton/Ball/Crane - well, I don’t think the Aussies will be quaking in their boots.
And I agree about the batting. Cook/Root/Baristow/Ali need to score regularly.
Only plus is that the Aussies seem in some disarray too.

Not just one - three misplaced commas/apostrophes in two lines......going for a record! Heading for a whitewash now - boo!

We don't look great - but then neither do they. Could be competitive.

Didn't understand the question, but I have a feeling that we may fair better than most people think.
Australia fielding a few unknowns and players that crock easily.
A loss at the GABBA and at the WACA usually happens, but I think we have a fair chance in the other 3 tests, weather permitting......never thought I would say that in summer here.

Exactly this. Gabba and Perth we never seem to win there. I'm worried about our batting frailties. Hope they prove me wrong. Come on England.
Don't know about that - there's only one player making his debut. I'd say the problem that Australia have is the exact opposite, too many players who have had several chances and not cut it: Messrs Paine, Marsh (and to a certain extent, Khawaja) have got it all to prove.
I think these are evenly matched: both sides have two top-class batsmen and excellent pace attacks - Australia have the edge as they're faster and Broad/Anderson won't have the helpful conditions they have in England. To counteract that, one of the three Aussies is bound to break down. I reckon Aussies will just shade the series but it certainly won't be a whitewash.

I thought it was going to be about Arthur Ashe.

I'm worried we will try to compensate for our weaker batting line-up by picking an extra batsman and going in a bowler light.
I see Nathan Lyon is trying to stoke things up a bit, saying they will retire a few more of our cricketers.
