Who will win the 2009 Ashes?

Posted by: TheAshesBlog.com In: Predictions ()

It’s locked at 1-1. Match results have been unpredictable, with each side putting in strong and poor performances. Freddy Flintoff is playing his last Test for England, and Ricky Ponting considers this the biggest Test of his career. Both sides have everything to play for.

So, who will win the 2009 Ashes series?

I think it will be Australia. They have the momentum and the form, and I can’t see England turning things around so dramatically from the fourth Test debacle. For England to win they’ll need a huge individual performance from someone like Strauss, Flintoff, or Anderson. That’s a possibility, but I think overall Australia has the stronger team at present.

What do you think?  Please leave a comment below, as I’d love to see what you think.

Well, Australia obviously … but then I am biased. I am actually nervous as hell this morning, but hopefully the Aussies will do it.

About

TheAshesBlog.com is the home of the re-enacted Ashes photos, where you'll find pivotal Ashes moments re-enacted in an Aussie backyard. So we might show Ricky Ponting celebrating a century, only the venue is a backyard in Brisbane rather than The Oval. And the stumps are a cardboard box. And KP doesn't really look like that in real life ... or does he?
