I know he is potentially very good but Starc will be doing well to get MOTS from 12th man! He won't play, at best 1-2 tests, and that is AT BEST!

Disagree.

We will see. They won't drop Johnson despite my view that they should. Halewood and Harris are our best 2 quicks. So who are you dropping to fit him in...and please don't say a batsman! Our batting is already bad enough!

Starc will play, this will be his breakthrough series

Series Result: Aus 4-0 (rain saves one)
Player of the Series: Mitchell Starc
Most Wickets: Mitchell Starc
Top Run Scorer: Michael Clarke
Best player for Aus: Mitchell Starc
Best player for ENG: Joe Root
Aus most disappointing Player: Hadds
ENG most disappointing Player: Stuart Broad - he's been cooked for a while now
Amount of times Shane Warne will say Michael Clarke's name: ∞^2
Wickets James Anderson will take: 12, plus someone will get stuck into the bastard and he'll have a public sook. Swann will join in like the happy sideline camper he is.
Fallout once the series is over for both sides: Swansong for the Aussie old men, massive pom clean-out including the end of Bell, Anderson, Broad. Cook will survive with a not bad but not great series.

Notch and Sunshine will throw in a couple of good performances without lighting up the world.

Ryan Harris must press his case for an Ashes berth as coach hints at unchanged bowling unit
Fast bowler Ryan Harris needs to shine in Australia's Ashes warm-up matches against Kent and Essex to force his way into the first Test XI, says coach Darren Lehmann. Bupa Support Team head coach Lehmann said Harris currently "looks a little short of a gallop" ahead of tonight's opening match of the Qantas Tour of the British Isles against Kent at Canteruby (from 8pm AEST).

Series Result: Aus 4-0 Can't see England winning one. Batsmen are too erratic and will struggle against a class attack. Won't take 20 wickets either.
Player of the Series: Steve Smith (will fail sooner or later. Not just yet)
Most Wickets: Hazelwood
Top Run Scorer: Smith
Best player for Aus: Smith
Best player for ENG: Stokes
Aus most disappointing Player: Watson (won't perform until series is wrapped up or Aus are heavily on top.) Also think Haddin might struggle.
ENG most disappointing Player: The 3 B"s Ballance, Bell & Broad. All struggling and I can see England's middle order being exposed early.
Amount of times Shane Warne will say Michael Clarke's name: Too much to make my ears burn. he was on Fox Sports last week promoting Clarke. Anyone think they were married.
Wickets James Anderson will take: 9. I think he may struggle.
Fallout once the series is over for both sides: Cook sacked as capt, Root new skipper. A few retirements for Australia to allow Watson a free pass this summer.
English media to whine about team and KP exclusion. Australian Media to bumlick side until next loss.

That's one of the more interesting suggestions I've seen. They should drop Johnson? You are aware of what he did to them last time right? You are aware they are no doubt still terrified of him no matter what they might try to say in the press? If ever there was an automatic selection its him.

This, they'd be idiots to drop Johnson.
He's only ever a couple of good balls away from suddenly becoming devastating.
