What went wrong, London matches went wrong.

The matches were dominated by Australia, England, even, Australia, England but Australia failed to win that all important first match of the series.

At the time I didn't think it would prove THAT costly, but it certainly has.

Realistically Australia didn't deserve to win the series, 2-2 may have been a fair reflection, but no sour grapes here - Punter shouldn't have bowled North at the end of the first test, reckon Johnson and Siddle should have been bowling to Anderson and Panesar.

The positives: Marcus North and Ben Hilfenhaus establishing themselves in our best XI. Clark's batting for the most part was excellent too, shame about the last Test.
