Big thing for England will be if we can keep Stokes, Archer and Wood fit. If so I think we’ve got a good chance. Doubt all three will be able to play the 5 tests even if “fully fit”.

Really hope Root has a great series. He has nothing to prove as much as the Aussie tabloids would try and make it seem. But it would be great if he cements himself as one of the best to do it.

Equally though, it seems a huge stretch for the Australian quicks to play every game.

I think they're hoping to win the first two tests and then we just crumble, which has happened before.

Our bowling attack has been pretty poor for a while, we rely on scoring more than the opposition rather than getting them out cheaply these days.

To be fair, the England bowling attack doesn't look any more durable. Fitness could be what ultimately decides things.

Both teams never seem too far away from a batting collapse

Can't imagine there will be many draws

Or late in the afternoon 5th day nailbiters

I think if England win the first test it will be a great series, if the aussies win it we will get pumped 4-1 or 5-0
