anyone got early thoughts on this summers cricket???

Apart from betting against the redbacks in all games bar 20-20

i'm on england & the drawn series as a saver in the upcoming test series as i think we have no champion match winners in the team ala mcgrath, warne or gilchrist....yep ponting is a champion but not a match winner/game breaker in my book

I think solid Bet is Clarke most runs. Guessing he will be 3rd fav behind Ponting and Watson? I hate living in the UK with the confidence floating around the English trip this year. But the fact is Swann represents the difference in taking 20 wickets per test and not and with the odds currently, I am finding it hard not bet against the Aussies!
Batting is pretty evenly matched, but unless the POMS crumble against the new ball early on, then I think we are up against it big time.

No, twas a joke mate.....

Can't see M Clarke (with an E) scoring many runs against the Poms. My opinion - but I left the smiley face off!!

Sorry mate must have my sarcasm meter off

Dont mind Clarke @ $10 for runs and Broad or Hilf for Value with wickets.
