My Grandparents and my parents are English but im an Aussie born and breed so thats who I support.Jones is a massive lose for England, Harmison will get good bounce in Perth he will be a dangerous if he bowls well there, but if he bowls short and wide he will go for alot of runs. Monty should bowl his best at the MCG and SCG he probally will struggle everywhere else. Im looking forward to watching Cook (bunny 2) bat against the Australian bowlers to see how he will go. Strauss (bunny 1) & Trescothick Vs McGrath should be an interesting contest. Read or Jones, well we have no idea who will get the position untill we see how Read goes. Hoggard and Harmison Vs Langer & Hayden. Pieterson Vs Warne will be very entertaining, Flintoff with the ball Vs Hayden and Gilchrist will also be a very interesting contest. I can't wait to see how Hussey goes against the English bowling line up, he will play well at Perth (home ground). The biggest contest of all will be in Sydney Warne Vs MacGill, there little contest has been dominated by MacGill over the years.
