Beware England Mark II

England have always been able to play some cricket when given the chance.

A few creative selections later (Nixon and Dalrymple) as well as some batsmen hitting form, and they produce what appeared unlikely, a final series win against Australia.

Momentum in sport is a funny thing. Australia has been dominating world cricket for over ten years now.

Maybe a slight trip up (both with the Ashes in 2005, and now losing the unloseable series) will serve them well into the future, but it doesn't make it any less numbing to see our team fall to such disappointing losses.

They better be back bigger and better for the World Cup, otherwise there will be a public baying for their blood.
