Grave concerns I have for this series and the number one concern is the heart of Michael Clarke. I have listed out the top ten reasons why Australia won’t be winning this series and why my 3.20-1 bet on England is the smartest bet in a number of years.

1. Michael Clarke has the heart of a sparrow
2. Shane Warne is not there
3. Michael Clarke is just shit
4. Grahams Onion is ready to burst out as a major world threat
5. Nathan Hauritz throws down pies
6. Peter Siddle throws down pies
7. Phil “Don Bradman part II” Hughes will show he was massively overrated
8. Michael Clark will crumble under pressure from Bingles Bitching
9. Shane Warne retired
10. Mitchell Johnson faces to much on his own

Our top 10 ways to victory

1. Shane Warne announces a come back as Australian captain
2. Marcus North pulls of a Steve Waugh like performance down the order
3. Stuart “The Question” Clark hits form and supports Johnson a treat
4. Andrew “The Period” MacDonald swings it like a mofo
5. Ricky Ponting stops doing Valvoline ads
6. Ben Hilfenhaus plays & opens the attack instead of Clark
7. Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff announce their engagement
8. Shane Warne becomes Australian coach
9. Alastair Cook realises his name is spelt wrong
10. Wally Lewis turns out at first drop

I have fear but some hope. I look forward to the first session of many. Sleep is for the weak!
