Always good battles in England, but not going to be easy in Australia next time.
Now as for the one dayers.........England management have been saying that they are going to prioritise one day cricket. In which case I do not understand the decisions to rest Broad, Anderson and Root! Our best three Ashes players.....
Probably saving the ageing legs of the the two bowlers for South Africa. Resting Joe will force some of the other batsmen to up their game; they'll need to be sharp to face Steyn, Morkel and Philander. The England team relied far too much on JR to the point that when he failed to make a score the whole thing fell apart. The batting coach has much to do.
As for Australia's problems, I find it difficult to care. All of their wounds were self-inflicted - either by the team or the selectors.
