5 weeks till ASHES start

Bell scored all his runs against Bangladesh pre-Ashes. They don't count.

Fair enough if you don't rate Hussey though, I do.

Although I think Australia have to be favourites, they're plainly not the side they were a few years ago, especially the pace bowlers. I'd go for them to edge it 2-1 but it'll be tight IMO.

TBH I haven't seen enough of him to say. I just think however good he's looked so far nine games just isn't enough to rank him right at the top. In most sports when people start off in amazing form they tend to have a dip not that long after.

Hussey was over 30 before he got a baggy green,but from age five he has been smacking the cover off a six stitcher.There were too many good batsmen around at the same time and he has been knocking on the door for 10 years.I fully expect him to flourish this series and belt 2 or 3 hundreds.I just wish Mick Bevan was still there,they would have had a time of it
