2nd T20 - Will England Make A Comeback?

2nd T20 - 31 August, 2013 - Chester - Le - Street

England
There is mis-communication and some unrealistic planning – this will inadvertently lead to uncertainty within the England team. But it's not all so negative as their batting will pick up in the latter half of the innings. Bowling and fielding will be patchy.

The Captain – Stuart Broad
Broad will need to get his plans in order very quickly if he is to avoid the above. He has the acumen for it, but he will have the tendency to lose focus despite the opposition providing him with opportunities to get back on top.

Australia
Australia seem too aggressive at times and then just too subdued – they too will be inconsistent and will falter by not regulating their tempo well. Batting will remain a positive; bowling will have a good start and a finish, this will balance out any middle over patchiness.

The Captain – George Bailey
Bailey has to be careful of not leaving things too late. He will start off very positively, but confusions will disrupt his flow of decision making.

Tarot Advantage:
Australia

The 1st T20 - England Vs Australia

1st T20 - 29 August, 2013 - Southampton

England
Team England will do the basics fairly well; their bowling will be balanced and smart. Fielding too will be sharp and will grow in confidence. But they will need to be careful of their initial batting as complacency will lead them to unnecessary struggles.

The Captain – Stuart Broad
Broad will adapt well and be instinctive in his captaincy. His pro-activeness will be an important key to seeing England through.

Australia
The Australians will be aggressive and well balanced, yet they will expect for something to go wrong. Bowling and fielding will start off well, but it may not end so strongly whereas batting will be steady.

The Captain – George Bailey
Bailey needs to implement his plans in a timely manner otherwise he will fall behind, hence adding unnecessary pressure and confusion on the team. On a positive note, Bailey will inspire the team to fight to the end.

Tarot Advantage:
England

5th Test - Final Nail..?

5th Test - 21-25 August, 2013 - The Oval

England
There is resilience and strength in team England. They will make some beneficial changes that will allow them to battle with greater positivity.

1st Innings
Middle order batting will have to be careful as they will find it tougher to score freely. Their first innings batting will be crucial for them. Initial bowling will need to be more aggressive.

2nd Innings
Opening batting will have to be more patient and battle harder otherwise the remaining batsman will need to take on unnecessary risks. Bowlers will bowl with relative ease and be aggressive.

The Captain - Alastair Cook
Cook's captaincy may not be the sharpest on field, but his team will execute plans well and hence will not require him to make too many changes.

Australia
Team Australia are willing to take risks – they will know when and when not to be aggressive, hence their ideas are well calculated. Collectively they will need to be weary of pushing for results quicker than required as they would end up losing their way by doing so.

1st Innings
Batting will start off well and will look comfortable, but it will be hard for them to maintain such consistency. Initially, bowling will be strong and aggressive but there will be a dip towards the middle which the opposition will capitalise on.

2nd Innings
Batting will be temperamental; despite a good partnership, they will have to work harder to keep up. Bowling will be patchy – instead it will be the opposition that will make it easier for them.

The Captain - Michael Clarke
Clarke's captaincy will be far more resolute than Cooks', yet Clarke will find it touch to receive the backing he needs.

Tarot Advantage:
England

4th Test - 2-1? Time for Australia to Score?

4th Test - 9-13 August, 2013 - Chester-Le-Street

England
England will seem on top and then drop as their standards will fluctuate. They will be seen fighting harder and having to rework their plans. Such inconsistencies will be best dealt with better applied aggression.

1st Innings
Batsman should be weary of taking unnecessary risks, otherwise they should build a good innings. Bowling will stick to a strong plan but they will have to be careful to finish well.

2nd Innings
Batting in the 2nd innings will be more consistent whereas bowling will need to be better planned – especially as its' weaknesses will begin to show.

The Captain - Alastair Cook
Cook is looking positive, but will be too soft. He will have to be aggressive, pro-active and take decisions out of his comfort zone.

Australia
Team Australia may not have the best plans, but they have the right combination of players who will script their actions towards success. Their teamwork will see them pull through strongly despite some kinks in their armour.

1st Innings
Batting will be careful but steady, whereas bowling will initially be wayward only to be aggressive and successful later.

2nd Innings
There is anxiousness in the batting which will lead to a self-inflicted loss in momentum hence they will need to be watchful of such negative patches in play. Bowling will start off a little expensive only for them to pull it back well.

The Captain - Michael Clarke
There is a certain confusion in Clarke's approach, but he is okay to captain that way. He will be instinctive and enjoy the game without taking on unnecessary pressures.

Tarot Advantage:
There is not a lot to choose between the teams, except for just a slight edge in team work, hence Tarot Advantage: Australia
