    I still think the beeb’s got it about right: man for man, the aussies are usually better. Hayden or Trescothick, Ponting or Vaughan, Martyn or Thorpe, Jones or Gilchrist, McGrath or Harmison, Gillespie or Hoggard, Jones or Kasprowicz, Warne or Giles. No-one in the England side would walk into the Australian side in the way several of their players would walk into ours. I expect England to put up more of a fight than last time, colectively, and I think we may win a test that isn’t dead against them since God knows how long ago, but they’ll win.
