England have had that lucky knack in recent times of playing the declining sides at the correct times.

Ashes 2010-11. Walloped a weak Australia 3-1
India 2010. Whitewashed the number 1, but declining, side 4-0
India 2012. Outclassed an ageing India in their own conditions 2-1
Now South Africa, coming off a mauling in India. England feasting like vultures on the remaining corpse of the soon to be former world number 1 side.

My favourite bit was where we beat the Aussies.

You could say the same for aus from 1995 onwards.. Wi on decline and everyone else crap until SA become decent and best everyone.. Swings and round a bouts, no nation has managed to produce successive quality teams so most of the time yiu can only put it down to sheer luck.

Australia had the best players in the world. Pretty much in every position. Just as the West Indies had prior to that.

England have done well to polish off these sides, but they aren't the best side in the world.

so what about Ashes 05?
Can't really say Aussies were declining then!

Luck is always a man's best friend

You make your own luck and good teams always tend to have luck. I don't think it's a coincidence.

2005 I hope


Beating the best team aus could put out ever was pretty good

England ain't any particularly special. Reliant more on luck than skill.

Let's hope they stay lucky then

Stay lucky until the Ashes my friend. We've got another 5-0 lined up

Not with burns, Bailey, voges and a pace attack made of glass. Be interesting to see aus on a wicket such as this SA one against decent bowling.. I suspect they'd be massively found out batting wise.

Pace attack made of glass? We've got about 7-8 top class bowlers.

As for Bailey, he doesn't play Tests. Voted will be retired. Burns will be a 25 Test veteran by then and his record is already pretty decent.

Pitches will be fast bag bouncy. Starc will test out the ticker at 155kph. Enjoy

we cant win the ashes again for a while yet but we can win this against the number 1 ranked side in their home conditions so lets concentrate on that
As i type we got another lucky wicket
