Five England players to watch
Nasser Hussain (captain)
Hussain is one of his team's top batsmen. But he needs to make his mark with the bat early while not forgetting about his responsibilities as captain.
Marcus Trescothick
One of England's best players, he's performed well against Australia in the past. His battle with Australia's fast bowler Glen McGrath will be worth watching.
Andrew Caddick
This will be the tall New Zealand-born player's first tour Down Under, but he's expected to make an impression. He's England's top bowler and should make the batsmen work hard.
Alec Stewart
At 39, he's by far the oldest on the England team, but Stewart is still a class player. A hugely talented wicketkeeper and batsman, Stewart will want to make an impression as this could be his last Ashes.
Michael Vaughan
Having batted brilliantly in the summer with four hundreds, this batsman and part-time spinner has become one of England's key players.
