What a joy to see England consistently playing so well. There is a real sense of belief in the whole squad nowadays. If we lose a player his replacement no longer looks lost. The batting looks more confident all the way down and our fielding is almost to Aussie standards. They now have the bearing of winners about them.
Plaudits are due to the whole set up.
England As for the big one. The Aussies are still far and away the best, but I think they may be a little less cocky than normal when they face England this summer. If we keep up this momentum there may even be another surprise in store for them after India proved they are not invincible. Arul Sugunakumar, USA England deserved to win this first Test. There is no doubting that however as a cricket fan I was slightly disappointed that we didn't see a true reflection of the mercurial Pakistanis.
