The make up of the Aussie team will be not wildly dissimilar to the one that England beat 3-0 a couple of years ago (Johno is the big difference, of course). However the make up of the England team will be very different, thanks to an untimely health issue, a hugely selfish retirement, a ludicrous sideshow, and a whole collection of dreadful selection, coaching and management balls ups.
If England get another kicking this summer, and they may not, but if they do, it will be largely self inflicted, and the biggest praise awarded to the aussies will not be their own vast improvement from 2 years ago, but the sensible way they avoided intruding on private grief.
