I have to say London is still my favourite city in the world, particularly as a tourist.

What about as a cricketer?

Australia have won a series in India more recently than they have won a series in England. That's saying something.

Overall this series was fairly poor in terms of the cricket played. The batting aside from Australia's top order at Lords and the Oval was shocking. Neither of these teams are particularly good.

I'd say that England have a lot more questions to answer than Australia.

what does that say about the Health of cricket lol.

Crazy so many people charged with cricket are so happy to see the death of cricket.

Saddens me that these people are happy only 3-5 teams will play Cricket or Test cricket.

It says that India haven't played a decent number of Tests at home of late.

Yep, that is a worry. Is this a trend or a flash in the pan?

I'll put it this way. If these two teams were to have played this series in Australia it would have been another whitewash.

true can't wait after 6 months when the merry go round of the test ranking table goes on.
England and Australia drop down the rankings while the likes of Pakistan, India, Sri lanka go up.

yep can't see any other result barring 5-0.

England batting will crumble with the pace and bounce.
Aussie batsman love the bounce and flat/true batting decks of Australia.

Reckon barring South Africa it will be impossible for any team to beat Australia at home.

Agree with Nasser earlier winning in Australia in 2010/11 was a brilliant effort although winning in India in 2012/13 was pretty special as well.

Blooming weather.

Couldn't rain for two solid days. :angry

by **Aidan11** » Sun Aug 23, 2015 8:57 pm

Well done to Australia though.

by **Aidan11** » Sun Aug 23, 2015 8:58 pm

4 day tests?

They're already here.

Oh, and I'll say it again...

I'm amazed the Aussies only picked Siddle for the last test.
