Ashes 2019 scoreline predictions competition

I wonder how many innings wins, and teams batting twice in the same same there will be (either following on or more likely because the other team got bowled out in a day). I'm going with 5 instances in the whole series

@Chizz, sorry to see you go cheaply but I believe like many of our players you went on the poor history of the Australian at Edgbaston and not enough on the exhausted mental state of the English team after the successful outcome of the double draw in the final of the WC when we won because of having a bigger population.

Despite Moeen Ali taking a shed load of wickets in the last 12 months he has admitted his form has disappeared and he should have whispered it to the coaches and not broadcast to the Aussies as they have a reputation for doing naughty things when they have their hands in their pockets and they got Ali's nemesis Lyon to keep bowling at him and it's just not cricket.

Here hoping that @suzisausage wins but unless Steve Smith's does a Graham Swan and goes home before this series is over, it could be a tough ask.

after this supine collapse with both bat and ball as well as dodgy selections, I have re-assessed my original prediction of 2-2 with 1 draw .. Oz 5-0 and England lucky to get nil

If your name is in italics, sadly you now can't win.  The consolation prize is that you get a free entry into the Ashes 2020-21 Scoreline Predictions Competition.  

Personally, I am hoping @suzisausage wins now...

I see nobody went with the Glenn McGrath 0-5 option!

And I didn’t follow my hunch with a bet .....

Of course, it should have been 3-1. Congratulations to those that could foresee Lyon missing the easiest run out ever.

Sorry @carly burn and @JohnBoyUK the door has fully slammed shut, as I can no longer edit the original post. But, as a consolation, I'll name the trophy the Carl John Cup

  F******* travesty!!

In all honesty looking at those predicting the scoreline I’d have most of them in  the the top ten of they’ve got a clue about cricket

Will be one draw due to rain.

Head says 2-2 But I can't back the Aussies retaining the ashes so going with my hear and 3-1 England.

I'm claiming that. Head was right.

JohnBoyUK said:

2-2 for me.  sorry, didnt see the deadline beforehand, give me a slap!

Would have been the first time I'd won anything.  Gutted
