Most likely not. I believe the Aussie's will win the series and that England will struggle to win a test match but winning all five is unlikely. At least one drawn match is possible due to either one of the following reasons:
(i) Rain. Significant rain shouldn't be a problem in an Australian summer, however, if one day gets washed out and the English show some form of resistance, a match can be drawn.
(ii) An absolute perfect batsmen's wicket. If a pitch is prepared where there is no assistance whatsoever for the bowlers, both teams would spend long periods in bat and if one of the team's is playing for the draw, the match could be drawn. The ground where this could occur would be the WACA (Perth) in the 3rd match.
(iii) SCG (Sydney, 5th match). This is the type of pitch which will most favour England. I'm expecting the English to play Monty and offer the only bowling attack of the summer to cause any damage to the Aussie's. Despite what happens until this last match, if the English go into it wanting to win it, they very well can.
The most likely result of this series is 4-0. It is only early days but it is so difficult to see the English playing good enough cricket to win a test match.

While Australia can defenitely win the Ashes Series, they will not be able to win the same with 5-0 Margin.

Well the same thing was said last Ashes - when Australia won the first test convincingly. And then the 5-0 predictor-in-chief McGrarth couldn't predict a small happening - that he would step on a cricket ball and twist his ankle.

Judging by the current test I'd say yes. Aussies are flying and the Poms are struggling.
If none are rained out Aussies will get that. See what happens.
Go the Aussies!

Not all the days are same.
We do not forget our past in last year series they loose the series so do not underestimate the England team.
