I'll make an effort to tabulate guesses. Your predictions of:

- Overall series score
My heart say says 3-1 England, my head says 1-1


- Aus batsman with most runs
Ponting

- Aus bowler with most wickets
The only bowler I know anything about is out of the first 2 tests and
possibly the whole series - i'll just guess at Mitchell Johnson

- Eng batsman with most runs
Cook

- Eng bowler with most wickets
Onions


Something I've done with friends over the past few series with
spectacular failure from all of us.

My thoughts: 2-2, Clarke, Clark, Cook, Anderson

Must be having an optimistic day given my prediction. Winner who gets
the most right gets a pat on the back (no cow jokes please).
