UK Ashes Predictions Thread

[Hu$tler]

Simply put in here your predictions for the series.


Chris Rogers will average less than 30 for the series.

Steven Finn will take the most wickets for England.

Nathan Lyon will take more wickets than Graeme Swann.

Fawad Ahmed won't play a test.

Stuart Broad will be player of the series.



Will think of more later.

 

[The_Reaper]

Given Ahmed isn't in the squad and will be in South Africa I guess that's one good guess.

Watson to make several starts but fail to score more than 70.
Bird to take a fivefer.
Hughes to score over 300 runs.
Bairstow to be dropped after two tests.

 

[TassieEagle]

Australia to win the Ashes 2-1
Lyon to be dropped at some point
Cowan to ton up
Harris to break down
Clarke to miss 2 of the tests

 

[HBF]

Watson to make 2 scores somewhere between 80-100.
James Pattinson to take 25+ wickets.
Ian Bell to frustrate the crap out of all of us.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Swann will be the leading wicket taker

Monty P will play at least 2 tests

Ashton Agar will make his debut

 

[Doodlesweaver]

I reckon Agar with debut at some point. Probaby because they want the batting shored up more than Lyon being that poor.

Steve Smith will play by around the 3rd test and do well ie average around 45 for the series, even get a ton fourth or fifth test.

Chris Rogers will crap himself first test but calm down and turn into a solid presence from the second innings, second test.

 

[thecatattack]

Cook to make 3 centuries including one 200+.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Root won't work at the top of the order.
Trott will be the leading run scorer, from either side.
Watson and Clarke will comfortably be our best batsman.
Pattinson will get dropped at some stage.
Haddin will be dependable with the bat, will be a disaster with the gloves (but no worse than Wade would have been).
Vaughan will be laughed at by myself if England lose the Ashes.

 

[Docker82]

Trott, Cook and Bell to make over 300 runs
No Australian gets over 300 runs
England win 3 tests by an innings
Ashton Agar to debut
Jackson Bird to be Australia's best bowler after getting called up after the series is lost
Clarke to be only Australian player to score a hundred
Pattinson to get most wickets out of the Australians

Negative yes but at the same time quite realistic

 

[scoremachine]

2-2 series draw
Watson & Rogers to average more than Root & Cook as an opening partnership.
Pattinson most wickets for aus.
Watson to hit 2 hundreds.
Pieterson most runs for England.
Broad & Finn to be ineffective.
Haddin to score more runs than Prior.

 

[DardySingh360]

Warner to return to the top of the order at some stage and switch hit James Anderson for 6 off the first ball of the match

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

The words Peter Siddle and Heart to be apart of the same sentence to tally over 600.

 

[Super Hans]

Trott to score the most runs for either team, Patto most wickets.

Haddin to still be shit.

 

[Mateyman]

Vaughan will be laughed at by everyone if England lose the Ashes.

EFA

 

[bird_man]

Australia's openers will shine with Watson finding his best form and Rogers playing a good support roll

Clarke will have a good series but the rest of the middle order will struggle with Australia making a few changes through out the series

Haddin to struggle and leave us wondering why we ever went back to him

Pattinson to take the most wickets, Cook to score the most runs

Australia will put up a decent fight but in the end our batting will let us down, England 3-1 series win

 

[BarryMorgan]

Stuart Broad to be annoying to even look at.

 

[damochandler]

4-0 england
trott leading run scorer
clarke leafding run scorer for us
swann leading wicket taker
bird for us
broad and warner to be the biggest pratts of the series

 

[Smoooothy]

2-2 draw
watson 3 centuries
cook 2 150+ scores
swan 25+ wickets
siddle our leading wicket taker, will dominate at lords

 

[Slax]

England 3-1
Cook most runs
Broad most wickets
Pattinson only Australian bowler to average under 30.
Rogers top run scorer for Australia
Watson to average just over 40, but fail to score a century
Haddin to fail with bat.
Haddin to miss a minimum of 5 stumpings during the series
Starc to score more runs that Hughes
Root to fail and be dropped by 4th Test.



saying Harris will breakdown is just not in the spirit of the thread

 

[jknothimjustafan]

Watson to score a huge amount of runs including multiple centuries but clarke fails for most of the series.
Starc to get the most wickets but with a very large average.
Haddin to score 1 big score and fail the ret of the time but that one big score keeps him in the team the whole series.
James anderson to get smashed by Watson but destroy the rest of us
Siddle to get wickets each test but not get a 5 for

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I think Jackson Bird will be our leading wicket taker.

Swann will make a century at some point.

 

[Torz]

I think Jackson Bird will be our leading wicket taker.

Swann will make a century at some point.

Let's just get Bird in the team for starters.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Let's just get Bird in the team for starters.

If he doesn't get chosen our selectors are an absolute...

...oh. Carry on.

 

[BG32]

David Warner to fail.
England to win 3-1

 

[willba_victory]

Phil Hughes will crush England. Long live King Phil
