Siddle is over-rated. Let the Ashes start, he will face the heat. So will King Philip III.

Ponting can't play swing.
Their bowling attack is so inexperienced.
Jimmy's got sexy hair, and is gonna be this year's Simon Jones.
Freddie.
No Vaughan to fail. (Bless him).
David Lloyd on Sky.
Freddie.
Andrew Flintoff.
All reasons why we're reclaiming that little urn.

If Siddle is overrated then what do we call Broad and too some effect Anderson?

Nah, if I be practical, then it will be an extremely tight contest. I just don't want Mr King Philip to perform. Just that only only guy. Otherwise, it's fine.
Not in recent years.

I think we've got a better all-round attack than Australia. Johnson, Clark and Siddle are very good bowlers, the first 2 more so, but they've not got great variety. Hilfenhaus is the only genuine swing bowler, and he's got nothing on Anderson or Sidebottom. We've got a much better spinner, and we've also got 5 quality bowlers as opposed to Australia's 4 + the average all-rounder in Watson or Ronald McDonald. Our batsmen, especially our middle order have outplayed Australia's in the last 12 months as well, with our 2 best batsmen (KP and Strauss) shining, with Australia's (Hussey and Ponting) having poor 12 month periods playing exactly the same sides.
To sum up, England will win 5-0

Yeah but Australia are Australia. Even their bad players can still beat us.

Yeh obviously. All false arrogance in my last post. We're clearly going to lose the series. We're England.

I think Australia is going to take it 2-0. There are going to be some close games, but I think the batsmen in this series are much better than the bowlers, hence the number of draws. I think Australia's bowling attack is pretty underrated. Siddle has been pretty good and Mitch has the knack of picking up wickets. Lee may not make the final cut and Clark has been a bit out of touch but they are both classy enough to pull up their socks. The real missing key is a quality spinner, so they may be going in with an all-pace attack and have Clarke do a bit of the slow bowling.

Neither can the English.
Lee, Johnson, Clark, Siddle have more wickets then Flintoff, Sidebottom, Anderson and whoever. I reckon.
Lol, get him Mathew Hayden and he craps his dacks and forgets how to bowl. The psychological damage he has received is too great, poor him, its like he played in the '90s era when every Pom FEARED WARNE.
Who?
Nah, you have Ian Bell instead.
No Richie Benaud...
Who?
The same Andrew Flintoff who was meant to captain his team to victory and smash us all around the park? Pfft, over-weight, injury-proned has been mate.
Believe it when I see it....

Lol at Aussies failing epically at banter. They see any comment regarding their team as a direct insult to their nation. It must be hard work being an Aussie when you have to be so excrutiatingly defensive about everything. It's embarassing.
