Their fast bowlers know how to bowl here. Siddle, Harris and Johnson should do the job. Their batsmen know how to play the cross bat shots like pull, cut and hook better than their English counterparts. If they take their catches, I back Australia to win although it could end up being a good close contest.
In saying this, England have the tall bowlers in Finn, Tremlett and Anderson to do the job but Broad will be missed. The England batting could struggle.
The present Australian team doesnt have that pace bowler who can exploit the green cover on the wicket.It will again work in favor of the pommies this time who have some good seamers in their team.

Its 5 Test match series, and 2 have happened. 3 more are remaining and the series has a lot of action remaining.
This is special about Ashes. It is not like series Team India plays at home, tampered schedule to make it convenient for Team India through BCCI money power.

WHere is Ashes happening? In India? Don't be just a blind fan of Ausis . If India can win in India and Ausis is not able to do at their home then how come they will become better team than India. fact is current Ausis team is a decent team that can be beaten by any team playing better cricket.They are not invincibles

i dont agree with your statement. infact pace bowling is the only thing that can work in australia's favour. a green wicket will not only negate swann's threat but also provide much needed boost to johnson and co. with broad out and anderson probably tired, england bowlers are likely to face a tough time.

a good bowler does not turn bad overnight. it is natural that bowlers will go through bad phases as well. still he is one of the best fast bowlers in the world alongwith steyn, anderson and zak.
