The Key players for Australia will be: Simon Katich, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson and Brett Lee.
Katich has a very awkward technique, though he is sceptible against the moving ball , and vulnerable outside his off stump, but on flat wickets like cardiff, he will make easy runs, England have to careful not to bowl to straight to him.
Hussey has already stamped his authortity against the lions, and looks very much like the hussey 2 years ago, bad news for the english, very bad news, as he can make runs all day long, my tip to be the top run scorer this series.
Johnson has a very quick and confusing action, he also has the ability to bowl in the late 90 mph's, and look out for his slower bowl, but the key is will he swing it?! can he reverse swing the dukes ball? but i reckon his runs down the order will be more crucial than his wickets,sounds strange but he is a accomplished all rounder.
Lee is their most experienced bowler at the current helm, and as we saw against the lions, he can reverse the ball at a good pace, and his ashes experience is invaluable to his fellow bowlers as he is the only bowler who has played in the Ashes series. His ability with the bat was for all to see during the 2005 Ashes and his runs will bolster the Oz tail, which is looking very small.
