after a year of little outstanding sporting achievements, who do you think should be the winner? i would love it to be Beth Tweddle, the world gymnastic champion on uneven bars. this is such a monumental achievement for a Briton in a sport we hardly ever feature in at the top.

Christian Ronaldo???

will we (England) win the Ashes again, in time for the show?

Bad form, lots of injuries, plus we're playing in their back yard..............we've no chance. I'd be surprised if we get 4-1. The Aussies are in top form as well. Maybe if they get a few injuries then we might draw, thus retaining the ashes; but I'm not holding my breath.

wonder how many people said we'd no chance after losing the first test last time?

Last year I thought we were definitely going to win the ashes. We had a strong line up and even our 1 day game was going ok! Since then we've suffered with injuries and form to really 'key' players. Panasar is a good addition but he's no Warne.

I admit that we have a good batting line up but a longer tail than Australia, and if anyone can get through our batters, it's Aussie bowlers at home. Last year Gillespie had a bad summer while Mcrath had a few injuries. If Warne has a bad series I think we'll retain the ashes, but if he gets 16-20 wickets each test -quite possible- then I can't see our bowlers matching it.

I really wish Vaughan & Jones were fit.

It would be an astonishing world record if he did. I doubt anyone would ever match it.
