Trescothick v Hayden
I hate Matthew Hayden, dont ask me why but he is one of those really annoying, beligerant Aussies who noone can ever like. The guy is a robot. Unfortunately I would give him the nod over Tresco because of that mental toughness. Marcus is probably in the form of his life and if he plays well England have a real chance. But I fear the Aussie bowlers will work him out and he will struggle.
Strauss v Langar
Andrew Strauss has one advantage and that is he is new, he has no baggage and the Aussies dont know him. they will have a plan and Strauss will have to be on his mettle to get through. But up against Langar it is no contest, Langar has a fantastic record and I expect him to make lots of runs. Our only chance is if Hoggard can pick up his wicket a couple of times and get a hoodoo over him like he has on Graham Smith.
Overall, I have to give this one to the Aussies.
