lets face it
when both teams are playing WELL. there is nothing really seperating them
people were saying before the series, that despite aus losing in india, that they were slight favourites. i dont think anybody had england as favourites before the series. yes, they said its their best chance to win (And it is), but even the most astute observers , after looking at both lineups (although auss has changed, mostly for the better) said aus would just pip england.
aussies were unprepared, underdone and not up to the challenge basically in the 1st 2 tests, and england WERE.
now aus ARE.
the two teams are evenly matched. england are no india or south africa
any pom whos whingeing, get used to it, because if aus bring their A game to a match, it will be damn close, and you certainly wont be walking over anyone.
Any team with collingwood at 5 is no world beater.
