In regards to the ashes I feel that the series as a whole will be won by the Aussies, but I think it will be quite close with each test closely fought - probably be 2-1 with 2 draws. Or 5-0 to the Aussies - Id love an England win but cant honestly see it this year, however next series with a young england side maturing and an already old Austrailian side aging further, Aussie home advantage may not be enough.
That being said cant wait for this series come on England, lets scrape a win in the first test then pray for the wetest summer ever.
