ASHES THREAD GO!

I'm going for 3-1 Australia, there's too much shit going on with England right now for them to not fail.

England to lose 3-1 or whitewash.
Too many injuries (Jones, Vaughan, Giles+Flintoff just back), off-form players (Harmison) and people not suited to the conditions (Hoggard especially).

So i've seen hightlights of the ashes on skysports while i'm checking soccer scores, but they never say what or who the ashes actually come from...they are real ashes right?

About one million years ago, England lost a game to Australia in England, and some journalist wrote an announcement saying something like English cricket had died and its ashes had been taken to Australia. And it grew from there.

"the ashes" are the remains of a legendary cricket bat that was burned decades ago
(from here truth is uncertain)
it is rumoured that one day a winner shall ingest the ashes and gain the powers of the cricket rider.
HIS NAME: ERAGON

We are gonna get spanekd by Australia

1) They have won all of there opening games against OTHER Nations, We are struggeling against there home county teams?!

2) Mahmood is not good enough yet, Harmison is bowling great WHEN not injured and Hoggard is getting on a tad now

3) We can't JUST rely on our Captain Freddy to do the buissness we are asking to much of him already, Someone like Bell or even Jones need to step up there game

4) Australia have Mcgrath and Lee back in top form, even if they get injured by fluke again, they ahve fantastic youth prospects... name one fantastic English bowler?

5) We never win in Australia

6)????

7) Destruction

Dear god, why can't you spell.
Anyway:
2)Neither Harmison nor Hoggard are yet thirsty and are probably about 1 year past their best. However, Harmison is blowing extremely hot and cold at the moment and is unlikely to be that good in the series.
3)Flintoff hasn't been bowling that well recently, and is a bit of a dodgy captain too(Strauss is better)
4) Aus prospects are basically Shaun Tait and....some other fast-medium bowler.
We'll still lose
