The Aussies have had half a team retire since caning us five-nil in the last Ashes series, most of them legendary figures in the sport ie Gilchrist, Warne, McGrath and Hayden.
Yet I watched them a bit recently and they still look s*it hot even with all these blokes retiring!!
Do England stand a chance?
----------------------------
I don't know, probably not, we've got some great young players and they're good enough to fill the spaces, Mitchell Johnson got 8 wickets against RSA in an innings in the first test in the series. We've got some other great young bowlers like Peter Siddle and Shaun Tait (although he's more of a one day player).
