While wanting England to win again, I'm really not going to pretend we are that much better! Aussies nearly won two tests and the only real difference between the teams was a rampant Ian bell and less collapses (eng). Tbh, it'll be even closer this time and I think it really could go 2-1 either way
Stop being a bloody pessimist!
England have the better batting line up, and by a fair way.
The better keeper/batsman - marginally, but still better.
The better spinner - by a long, long way.
Only in the fast bowling department are Australia anywhere near parity.
All things considered, England really should win and win well.
This last Northern summer, Australia were unlucky not to win a test or two, but we would have been unbelievably lucky to win the series.
The lucky breaks generally favour the better team.
