Who will win the Ashes 09 - Poll!

Well?

While a 2-1 or a 2-0 result looks most likely either way, a 5-0/4-0 o even a 4-1 win for Aus would be a huge surprise this time around. It will be very close I feel. 1-0 either way or 0-0/2-2 kind of draws look impossible. 3-2 isn't looking likely as 1 test at least will be drawn somwhere, I think.

I don't think either side will pussy foot around for 1-0 leads or boring draws the way India-Pak do, though.

I just think a very huge win-loss gap isn't likely this time and will be most closely fought than ever in the last 2 decades! I feel England have a chance for a repeat of the last 2-1 home success. But Aus showed in SA it is down but not all out yet so can't be very sure.

Nevertheless, I back England 2-1.

I wanted to Vote for the Weather.

Aus 3-0 or 3-1.

Isn't that he was talking about?

It'll be a draw.

I could swear we already have a poll for this.

Probably.

5-0 England, if not it'll be 3-1 Aus

3-2 to England would be quite sensational.




The 5th Test being the decider.

Yeah but why pass up an opportunity to keep the forum stats up.

Bradders in maintaining forum morale shocker.

I'm also going with 3-1 Aus, though I'll be happy if we win a test when the series is still live.

Hey I'm new to this forum stats shit. Plus morale is excellent. Your sheep looks happy.

2 rainouts, 1 tie and 1 each. Is Doctrove umpiring?

Imagine if Lords was rained out and the Welsh sun shone bright for 5 days.

Wales has it's own sun?

Yeah, it's sheepish.

A tie would be rather exciting but can't see it happening!

australia will be humbled and humiated if it only wins 3-1

England always manage to f things up so AUS will win 2 zero.

having said that don't take my word for it because i haven't watched much cricket lately.

I don't think England will get Australia out twice in a match.

So 2-0 Australia.

Aus to win 2-1

aus 3-0

I'm actually wondering when the last side came to these shores that did that sort of carnage. Probably Aus 8 years ago.

Yep, we let you have the dead rubber last year.

Oh yes, I remember now.

It was the start of the great English renaissance under KP.
