Well I expected Australia will win the Ashes 2009 but the problem is that Australian team is not having good spinner in their team which is wanting and even inconsistent performances from Ponting, Clarke, Hussey even did not help them. Openers are also not orginally openers, Katich is good middle order player but does pretty good job as opener and Shane Watson swifted to opening in place of Phil Hughes is good experiment which is worked out for them in two test matches. But middle order is very inconsistent. Whatever, England have won the Ashes 2009 and it was a close series..

According to me England will definitely win. Chasing 546 is a very huge task. I dont think this current Australia can reach this total even though now they are 80/0. So ashes will definitely back to England.

Well I think with the present conditions, most likely England will win the series. They have a good lead already and the bowl is spinning. So, even if Australia wants to win, the conditions are not favorable to them. The ball will turn and Australian players are not very good against spin. So, let’s see what happens.

As I had told before, the last Test would be final like and as England are now more than 400 it indicates that either the game would end in tame draw or England would win it.

I think now england is on the top, and they are leading with 230 runs with just loosing 3 wickets, so if they are making 200 more runs that will put england on the hot favourite on the ashes cup, and australia should loose it,, I am infavour of england.
