England vs Australia. Better team in the subcontinent/UAE?

With all due respect, who cares? They won't play each other there unless one of the countries becomes a basket case like Pakistan, and that won't happen.

They'll go there and play as and when required, and play who's in front of them.

As for Swann being some mystical difference between the sides, it's laughable, even in the subcontinent. He's a regulation non-chucking offie without a doosra. He's Nathan Lyon with 30 odd tests or whatever under his belt.

If Watson gets set he can survive against spin... but not much more.

Ponting/Clarke/Hussey as the middle order is a big plus.

I'm pretty sure the thread isn't about us playing each other in the subcontinent...

Cricket means nothing unless it's played in the subcontinent. Surely you must have realised by now?

Yes, well... cakes.

But I thought only Ashes is the real test?

Indeed.

Since all attempts to re route the thread to a decent discussion have failed and descended into a sniping pissing contest, this thread is locked for a few hours.
