That's as important as losing McGrath after Lords considering how well Lee bowled in the Warm Up I think. Looked comfortably better than anyone else on show in the Lions game. | ||

Hauritz would have to be playing now wouldn't he, England are now the favourites in my book. England win, or draw. | ||

| Staff Member Member Since: May 2005 National Team: Pakistan | That's pretty bad news for Australia. Anyway, England have now a bigger chance of winning the first Test match. If England wins at Cardiff, I am pretty sure they will make that as a permanent first Test fixture of the Ashes. | ||

| International Captain AKA: AJ Member Since: May 2007 Location: Victoria, Australia National Team: SwisseUltivite Superstars Domestic Team: VB Bushrangers | 7 wickets, bowling at 90mph+ consistently for the entire match in pretty warm weather, swinging it both ways, late, cut, bounce, etc. Nah, no way. They should fly over Bollinger, took 8 in the Australia A match. Or will Ronald McDonald bring his franchise to Cardiff? | ||

| Panel of Selectors AKA: Jack Member Since: Sep 2005 Location: Newark, UK National Team: England Domestic Team: Nottinghamshire | He would have played after that last tour match, he was awesome. 95mph swinging yorkers. I think England are slight favourites now England's bowling looks quite a bit better than Australia's, especially on the back of said tour match as Clark was rather ineffective, Johnson very expensive, Hauritz awful. Siddle's pretty darn good though. | ||

National Team: England,....unfortunately Domestic Team: Essex, don't ask why!! | I hope not - do you think the Aussies would move the first Test from the Gabba to some small ground like Tasmania or the Belrieve Oval? It's a decision that still baffles me - money talks, sadly, with the ECB!! | ||
