I think that there's a lot of players, past and present, as well as commentators, with large amounts of egg on their faces. For anyone to suggest that Australia would flog England, at home, was ridiculous and arrogant. I thought we had a good chance but, as I said in an earlier post, England are always difficult on English pitches, and I was far from confident. What I didn't expect, however, was the manner in which Australia capitulated, it was downright embarrassing.
I agree with Barry concerning Michael Clarke, he was the world's top ranking batsman, terrorising the attacks of test playing nations, but he's badly out of form as well as confidence. It's a shame he had to go out on such a low. I'm sure there will be big changes in personnel for the next series we are involved in, hopefully some of the promising young players we have will be given a chance.
England is a young side, and should have a bright future in front of it for some years to come.
Well played England, you were by far the better side, and thoroughly deserved winners
Peter.
