David Keen's Ashes Predictions are interesting.
I also predict that, in the event of a win in Cardiff, England will go on to win the series. Hopefully a decent run of weather will make for results rather than draws.
I also agree about James Anderson. I think he's peaking at exactly the right time for the Ashes. Hopefully he'll stay fit and take a couple of big hauls.
I think Monty Panesar will be disappointing (if he gets the chance). He hasn't performed well at County level this season, so I can't imagine his form is going to return just because it's the Ashes.
With the batting, I hope that KP will have a good one, and I'm also hoping that we'll see a continuation of Andrew Flintoff's craching return to batting form with a few big hits.
at the moment I'm just hoping it doesn't rain on Friday, when I've got my ticket for Cardiff. What makes this contest so fascinating is that nobody knows what will happen. The Aussie attack are an unknown quantity in England, and the England attack are ditto against the Aussies, apart from Fred. It's going to be great.
