Ashes for England

Aussies look out of sorts without McGrath. And take away Warne, this Australian cricket team looks vulnerable in the bowling department. The batting line-up is world-class, but what can a batting line-up do, without good support from bowlers particularly good fast-bowlers and good spin-bowlers. Pakistan with its top-class fast-bowlers and spin-bowlers have achieved more than anyother team inspite of its history bad batsmen! India with its famed middle-order has under-achieved than any other team thanks to its lack of expertise in fast-bowling department!

I would still consider the series between India and Australia in 2001 in India in which India won 2-1 is a bigger achievement when compared to this Ashes series, since India won inspite of a fiery McGrath and Gillespie! Hopefully England win this Ashes and oust this head-over-heels Aussie team!
