    I'm hoping; as I said, don't want the Ashes Aussie team getting any confidence...

    We already have confidence betty.

    "the worst australian team to tour england" won most sessions of play, and our plans to get guys like cook out worked - though you guys prefer to say "we didn't play at our best"

    you guys will be put back in your place downunder

    Pakistan keeping up their reputation as the most unpredictable team in test cricket. After almost an innings win in the first test, they are in big trouble in this one..

    Pakistan 99 (all out)

    South Africa 128/3 (49.0 ov)
    South Africa lead by 29 runs with 7 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

    You are prolly right.

    There was a day when 300 was almost ungettable in ODI's.

    T20 style batting, bigger and better bats, and new rules has changed that - and the pancake pitches in India don't help.

    ^ can't wait.

    I think we will do well.

    Why?

    1. The poms are cocky

    2. We are closer to having a set team than we have been for years

    3. Team harmony is much better under Boof.

    4. Our plans to get out the English top order worked in the last series - and will be even more effective downunder.

    5. We will produce pitches to suit us

    Bring it on!!

    I believe the upcoming ashes will return to the tooth and nail battles we have been used to.

    The present 1 day side are doing very well against the number 1 ODI side in the world and on their home wickets.

    At least down under the weather is more cricket friendly and I cannot wait for the ashes series to start.

    May the best side win.

    ^ smith too..

    Well, it's getting close now...

    Here's my team...

    Rogers
    Warner
    Watson
    Clarke
    Smith
    Bailey
    Haddin
    Pattinson/starc
    Siddle
    Harris
    Lyon

    I know he has only been playing ODIs , but Bailey has earned his place in the team - the number 6 spot is the only one up for grabs really, and I still have doubts that Hughes has what it takes ..

    Must have been a horrible day in the field for the Pakis!

    What do you guys think of this team?

    I would prefer Gillchrist over Knott.

    No McGrath??
