Ashes 2013: Time for England's revenge

Ian Botham has reputedly predicted a 10-0 trashing of Australia in back to back Ashes series due to be played out over the next six months. As high a crest as the English Cricket Team are riding, this seems a rather steep climb.
But going into tomorrow's opener at Trent Bridge victory is no longer enough for the public, who are braying for an absolute annihilation of our former tormentors the Aussies.  Every smug and self satisfied drubbing they handed us should be repayed in full over the next ten tests.  No relenting, no mercy.
Writing in The Times a few weeks back Giles Coren bemoaned Australia's failure to produce a decent test side. All that is required of the nation, he wrote,  is to send a team of 11 world class cricketers, something they have failed in miserably this year.
On the biggest of stages their team is incredibly raw. Seven of the predicted squad have never played in an Ashes.  Only Root and Bairstow have that distinction for England.
Ian Bell has played in 18 Ashes tests, Pietersen 17, Cook 15. Michael Clarke himself has 20, almost a third of his team's total. In the pressure cooker that is the Ashes, some of the Australian beginners are going to get fried.
Still, Martin Johnson shared a cautionary tale in The Sunday Times of 1989, the last time Australia showed up in England as purported no hopers and gave David Gower's side an absolute battering. No Steve Waugh or any players of his calibre are hiding in the Australian squad and to be brutally honest the toughest opponent England should face this summer is the weather, harsh mistress that she is.
We will witness our first Ashes test played at Chester-le-Street as Headingly and Edgbaston miss out. Bell and Piwtersen could conceivably have played in five Ashes winning squads by the start of 2014, a fear not shared by too many Englishmen (answers on a postcard please).
If not for the David Warner-Joe Root bust up in their now infamous bust up, you might be worrying that this Ashes might be terribly dull. But the Ashes is never dull. It'll still throw a few surprises in there.
