Australia

Hayden is not in form and is unsure whether to grind it out or play shots to get back into form.
Gillespie is not the bowler he was.Maybe the injuries have caught up with him.
Kasprowicz looks cannon fodder when ball is not swinging.
Martyn keeps getting out after getting in.Big score only a matter of time.
Gilchrist ready to unleash a big knock.
McGrath badly missed at Edgbaston.Aussies need him fit for Trent Bridge.
Ponting is not as good a captain as those before him.
Lee is not just a show pony and is showing he has heart of a lion.
Clarke is putting poor county record in England behind him and looks class act.
Katich is possibly the weak link in the batting line-up.
Langer is a classy opener.
Warne is a genius.

England

Trescothick may have ended his demons against Australia but McGrath didn't play so not entirely sure.
Strauss can't pick Warne but not massively troubled by pace bowlers except McGrath.
Vaughan has a serious fault with his technique.Needs to spend time with Sir Geoffrey.Captaincy is better than Pontings.
Bell looks like he is beginning to sort himself out.
Pietersen was made for International cricket.
Flintoff is Flintoff.
Jones needs runs but that catch could be the making of him.
Giles 1 bad game 1 good game needs another good one at Old Trafford on the bunsen burner.
Hoggard see Kasprowicz.
Harmison troubles Aussies with his pace and bounce back to what got him to number 1.
Jones doesn't take enough wickets.

Summing up both sides have plenty of areas that need improving and there will be many more twists and turns in this series before we get a winner.I just hope that we don't get any rain to ruin the series.
