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
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.
@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

Of course, it should have been 3-1. Congratulations to those that could foresee Lyon missing the easiest run out ever.
It's never "the easiest run out ever" when one takes into account the pressure of the situation. And there are examples in every series that one could argue were contributing factors to the result. Take Glenn McGrath treading on a cricket ball for one.
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

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

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