If it was a 3 match series, then given that Australia has been a graveyard for opposition spinners and those figures include one match winning spell, I'd say it was a pretty successful tour.

Hmmm, not so sure about that. Would say he's done about as well as anyone could've expected him to; he's bowled well on a second innings pitch to take a bagful, but other than that has struggled somewhat. Would say he's been average so far; not good, not bad.

So basically if Australia win the Ashes back they can thank Marcus North.

I was looking up some series stats last night. Unfortunately I can't remember much of last night due to a strange dehydration-related illness I am suffering from today, but I think Cook might be close to surpassing Vaughan's 02-03 tally.

I imagine he'll only get one more innings in the series though, bloody useless Aussies
At least he's back ahead of Hussey. At this point if I had to give out MOTS it would probably be Cook. |

In 6 innings this series, Cook has got more runs than in the entire 2006/7 and 2009 series put together. (19 innings)
MOTS? Flower.

Not Ashes specific per se, but I heard on SSN before that Trott now has the second highest batting average of all-time after Bradman, did I hear correctly?
Obviously it's early days etc and Hussey once had this but it's still impressive. What an asset he is to us. |

Still, can't argue with a 60+ average. In other Trottstats, at the start of this year's summer - 10 tests ago - his average was 37.38. He'd need to get 17 ducks in a row to get it back there. |
