Can't say who will win. This Young side of OZ is quite unpredictable, they can loose from position from where its like impossible to loose and sometimes they produce the excellent performance when not expected.

But one thing I noticed when they take wickets of opposite teams top batsman easily its tail of the team which they find difficult to clear.

It will be evenly matched series hope so

I have lost hope as far as the OZ's ability is concerned... OZ's young boys have a tough job ahead... I think it may go 2-1 in the favor of England...

Yes.. I am excited too.. You made a good point.. To beat Aussies in Australia is difficult... But by beating them, Sri Lanka have shown that its difficult but definitely possible... Any chance of Bret Lee getting into the action? Is he fit enough first of all..?

in Ashes NO. selectors are pretty much clear about this issue they rely on Johnson, Harris, Bollinger, Siddle, Mckay.

Brett Lee focusing to make into World CUP team. In ODIs there is slight chance he will make into team as far as tests is concerned its NO till large number of their fast bowler get injured

Yeah, they make a decent bowling attack... Spinners need to improve a bit I think... Hauritz had a pretty bad Indian Tour... He leaked too many runs... But who knows? He may well discover his form in front of his home Crowd...

Hauritz, Smith and now Doherty is very good find. If Hauritz fails in Ashes he will be soon replaced by one of them

Hmm... I dont think Smith as a substitute for Hauritz... They want a good front line spinner... I actually treat him as a part time spinner... He dont have the Ashes experience too.. What for Jason Krejha? He is no where to be seen after the last Indo-OZ Test that held in Nagpur way back in 2008...
