I have always thought England would with the bowlers we have, would be more effective than Australia at Headingly, better chance than say the Oval, where the ball come nicely onto the bat, not as pacy as it used to be.

Just have a feeling that we can win this one, if we can win in the heat of SA, with a half fit Flintoff, and a whatever with Harmison, then providing these two are fine, I can't see the Aussies winning much, not in the North and Midlands anyway.
