I appreciate that most people on here won't give a toss about cricket, but there must be some over-confident Aussies about.

I believe England have a chance again. Of course it's gonna be hard, but Australia were too old last time around, and they're a year older now.

If we can get through the first two tests without losing both, then it's game on.

whereas, in that scenario, Australia would look great, competent, covered in glory(delete where applicable)?? I might need some explanation of that.

Pointless jibing aside, England can win, definitely, but have much less room for error than Australia. If Harmison has more than a couple of off days, we are in trouble. Similarly, if Strauss gets the yips or breaks a finger, without Trescothick to steady the top of order, we don't have many other solid options.

But sod that, bring it on! I'll be listening at midnight, and expect work and home life to get ropier as the winter progresses, and the loss of sleep kicks in!
