Only man in the English squad to make a ton is from New Zealand, where's K34 when you need some quality banter?

Auckland University would be my guess....

Well, Australia are on top now I guess. What's it again, 32-31?

Yup, I think it might stay like that for awhile as I don't know when we next play the poms. It's usually 4 years but I think it might be 2015/16 in England next. Australia's touring South Africa in a few months, so I think it will be quite a shock to go from a 5-0 whitewash to playing the #1 team in the world. It's probably gonna be a wakeup call for a lot of players, and if things go badly we could see players like Mitch Johnson losing their temporary excellent form and Australian cricket could be in disarray again. I hope and expect our momentum to carry onto our T20 and ODIs against England.

Hopefully it won't be a whitewash......Yes it's in England, the venues were already decided. Could be quite a decade for cricket fans, what with all the rescheduling.

It will either be 4-0 or 5-0, there's no hope for England. SCG is a spinner's pitch and Cook has no faith in Monty. Momentum is all our way whilst the English players are a mess. Cook is a boring captain always caught in two minds and his form with the bat has been poor for over a year. Our players are confident and fit besides Watto, and every Aussie batsman besides Bailey has made a century. Faulkner is a capable replacement if Watto is out due to injury, in fact he's likely to outshine whoever he replaces.

Amazing thing is that the Aussies have remained more or less unchanged in their line ups.
