if the team england playing against pak remains the same than 75% Aus and 25% eng
but the injured members of eng team are back than u can say 55% Aus and 45% eng
but as u know seimen jones which play an important role in the victory last time wont be able to get 100% fit before 2nd test
and andrew flintof still requires 12 weeks to get fit
while no signs of mikel vaughn coming back annnd aussies on their home ground with a wonderful record in test england has very less chances to win
but they have new talent "Monty"
anyway i told u what i think em from pakistan and em very close to cricket so u can believe me brother
on the other hand austalia is not having any injuries probs and even if they have some it wont be such a big problem as their is a back up for each player
remember 4 VIP players are injured while trescothic is out of form i hope he will regain his form
INJURED players of Eng
Flintoff
jones
Vaughn
Giles

I support England so I hope they do well!!
If they keep the big guns (Flintoff, Harmison, Pietersen, Hoggard etc) in then they have a good chance of keeping the Ashes. Freddie was invincible last year!!! I hope they send Monty over as well because he has more than proved himself with his bowling against Pakistan this year. I love Monty!!!
But the Aussies will be on Home Turf and they will be champing at the Bit to regain the Ashes so they are going to put up one hell of a fight, I can guess!
England will also be pretty determined to hang onto the Ashes so they will hopefully be up for the challenge!
This winter is going to be a really interesting series and my BF and I as cricket fans can't wait!
I'm due to give birth to our first child on 8 December so I can imagine we'll have the cricket on in the labour ward TV!!! We'll be telling the midwife to "Sshhh" and stop distracting us, heheheh!!!

Being a passionate and proud Ozzie, I cannot be completely unbiased. You've got to say that right now it's about 60-40 in favor of the Ozzies. Close because of England's victory last time. But just in Australia's favor because it's at home, and the history of success against the Mother country.

iwell last time it happened for them Aussies wont let it go this time they will blow England to pieces but if Freddie,Peterson,Simone Jones,play there par well it might be anybody series and as it is said cricket is a game of uncertainty u cannot give answers till the last ball is bowled i will give England 4.5/10

honestly do feel that Australia will win the Ashes back this year,a better outfit in all means,Australians are very good at playing the spinners by useing their feet and there is nothing much that the new English spinners could do i think.

its not looking good for england with freddie injured and not sure whether he will be fit. plus the fact that the aussies are on home soil. but it will depend on the first test and whether monty gets spin on the tracks. if he does then i fancy our chances but you cant depend on one player

I think Australia has the upper hand coz' of the home advantage.
Mcgrath is coming back so it will boost their confident.
