We are such a better side now then we were then.

Giles is either on it or not. If Brown/Keedy could bat like Giles then GIlo wouldn't be in the team. Duncan likes long batting orders.
I would put in Tremlett for Solanki at Trent Bridge. Although it can spin there
Solanki is an opener.
Would India play Sehwag at 8?
A difference in class i know.

I would still not jump into a conclusion on whether or not England will win the Natwest Series or the Ashes . The aussies are a champion side and they know how to rise from the ashes ! What certainly excites me is the fight England are likely to put up regardless of the result at the end of the long summer . I remember many experts saying that the aussies were on the decline when India toured Australia in 2003 and drew the test series to retain the border-gavaskar trophy . If you guys remember India put up some huge scores in that series and the aussie bowling though without warne and Mcgrath looked very ordinary . Ian Healy predicted an aussie defeat when Australia would tour India in 2004 October but the Aussies proved everybody wrong .
England look a completely different side with the influx of one of th world`s most exciting players in Kevin Peitersen . What amazes me is that players like Peitersen,Flintoff,Sehwag and Afridi are enjoying more and more success on a consistent basis !
The Australian batting lineup has looked quite vulnerable this year . Remember the VB Series finals where australia escaped defeat after posting reasonably low scores against Pakistan and also the GABBA game against West Indies where they slumped to 30/6 . The Aussies never looked invincible but their bowling was in a sort of a form which could win matches defending 200 runs . Now, when the bowling looks rusty , the team looks to be coming down with the rest of the pack of teams .
Bret Lee is being sorely missed , His raw pace would never have let the Bangladeshi batmen chase 250 comfortably or Lewis survive with the bat .
With Symonds and Lee back, I bet we would see an Aussie resurgence .
Till then, its advantage England finally!

A similar thing happened against South Africa in 2003. We won the NatWest series after thrashing them, then we thought we would win the series the same way.
Oh and I believe it was 3-2 in the '97 series, after we won the final test too?
