Chased down the world champions' 328 with one ball left, fair play. Apparently gives them some points to qualification for the world cup too.

2-1 series win.

That said, our 2nd XI still should have won.

Only seen the newspaper reports. Sounds like some of the Aussies are short of a gallop and still had chances to win (esp the first match).

Yes, you have won it 5 times. Doesn't change the other fact though.

What about the semi final when you won on net run rate or the semi final you won on D/L. Do you count them?

Not a good test for England. Some great wickets seen though by both teams.

There would have to be better cricket pitches in remote communities in Australia's inland. No teams could play good cricket on them.
Saying that I like the Indian cricket side. They achieved a lot of respect here last year and they are as good an all round team as you can get.

If Joe Root can claim 5/8 with the ball you know there is something wrong with the pitch, 1 & 1/2 day test match FFS

Just like us, a 1-0 lead can easily turn around.

I'm all for preparing a home pitch, all countries but these are a joke along with umpiring showing why we went to neutrals.

That said, England have shown frailties at playing spin and shown that after Leach we have no spin options.

Leach, Archer, Anderson, Broad and Wood will create trouble for all teams but it's also shown a long tail. It started at 8 in this test.

Ive just had a quick look at the MCC laws 9.1 to 9.7 - couldnt find a thing about how pitches have to be prepared....lots about the pitch once the game has started but nothing prior...
