So only 39 days to go until the Ashes series starts, is it too early to engage smug mode  ;)

Depends on how the weather behaves.  ;)
Could be a draw, with five wash outs !

I'm going for a narrow England win - the Aussies aren't as good as they think they are, and we aren't as bad as we think we are

(disclaimer: I may rethink this after the first test when you are more than entitled to enter 'smug' mode)

It may be too early, they still need to get though the West Indies tour without injuries and they are an old bunch. I think I will wait until they arrive in England before getting too cocky  :)

I thought that the Art of Understatement was supposed to be an English characteristic?   :-\  ;)  :o  :D
