Half the Aussie attack are crocks and their batting is frail. This is our best chance at winning over there for ages, probably better on balance than 2010 when they still had a few greats. I fancy them to win at least one test if Cummins and Hazlewood can be fit but we will win at least two. |  |

Do we have an effective bowling attack fit and available? |  |

I remember Ken McEwan playing for W.Australia. Arguably the greatest player never to play a Test, so he had a long year to fill. |
What a fine player Ken was. A great Essex side that. The perfect (local) team for me in the absence of Suffolk having a pro team to grow up with. Gooch, Hardie, McEwan, Fletcher, Philip, Turner, Lever, Pringle, Foster, East etc. |  |

Hopefully but if the entire team is over 30, in the next few years Australia are going to be rubbish when they all retire. |  |

I thought the same in 2005 when Ponting, Langer, Hayden, Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist etc were into their 30's. The next gen were pretty good though. |  | | |

Took awhile for them come good again though, as we beat them in 2009, 2011 and 2013. | |

That Aussie side we beat in 2010-11 was utterly dreadful.
Really not sure what to expect this series tbh. Got a feeling that in terms of overall quality, it may be quite underwhelming mixed in with the usual frenetic drama you always get with Aus v England.
One thing I really want to see though is a Root hundred to shut some people up. | |
