The convicts are already falling into a false sense of security...

I knew Fletcher had picked Mahmood for a reason!

I made it out to the game. Despite receiving the worst sunburn I've had for years, it was a good day. The English were hopeless. I know they're not regarded as a terrific one day side, but they're really going to have to lift in a few weeks time.

They can't. You're (perhaps) forgetting the Rain won the Ashes last time around. The glory has been spun so much that we're headed for a massive fall. I'm predicting 4-0 Aussies at best, if not 5-0.

You English are always so pessimistic! I can't see Australia losing, but I do believe your lot will give us a decent game. We're going to lose at least one test (perhaps the first).

Not the first. Maybe the last, or the 4th if it is 3-0 already.

Well we haven't got any better yet.

NSW 125-1 at lunch. Hoggard, Harmison and Anderson all going for 5 an over.

That's rubbish. The most rain affected game was Old Trafford, where it rescued the Aussies.

Even back when Australia were stuffing England every time in the early 90s they never beat us 5-0. Something like 3-1 is far more likely.
