Australia are coming off a four-nil whitewash to India and are at a very low ebb, while England are the number two Test side and beat India on the sub-continent a few months ago. But they then drew a three-Test series with New Zealand, which was unexpected.Shane Watson, I think, has the potential to be a really great Test batsman, if he can step up to the mark along with Michael Clarke and some of the younger guys. I like the look of Phil Hughes, he's got something deep within him that makes him a long-term Test player; we've got Dave Warner. Waugh, who played 168 Tests for the Baggy Green, feels that while patience is required when dealing with the inexperienced Aussie batting order, the bowling line-up is stronger than England's.There's enough talent there, we just need some confidence in that line-up and if we follow on from the damage the bowlers are going to do, I think we can win the Ashes.The former skipper said: "I think England aren't as good as they think they are. I honestly think we can win the Ashes. We've got the bowlers to take 20 wickets. If that's the case you can win any Test match. It just needs a couple of batsmen to find a bit of form
