Build up

In November 2008, former England all-rounder Ian Botham put forward his belief that England will take an "easy" victory.^[2] From the Australian team, Shane Warne stated that be believed England would be beaten 5-0 as per the previous series.^[2]

“

What I've seen so far, I don't see as too much of a threat and if England's bowlers stay fit then they'll win the series... I don't think they've got the bowlers - they're weak in the bowling attack and getting old... I predicted it in 2005 and I predict it again now.... It's never straightforward, but I think we'll dominate because we have the bowlers and that's the one thing Australia are lacking... They've got Brett Lee who's a terrific performer and after that there's no spinner, there's no McGrath out there. –Botham[2]
