Beny,

Pride comes before a fall mate. I admit the Australians are looking good and that the Ashes will not be as easy as Ern predicts, but I still feel we have a chance. It is not purely down to Harmison and Flintoff. We have four bowlers in the PWC top twenty. The batting is possibly the most solid it has for many years. We have three young players coming through presurising the etablished batsmen for places. We have a captain who loves the Australians. Our keeper is highly rated by Gilchrist.

I would say that things will be closer than you think.
