We stalled trying to reach 3rd gear.
The first two tests of the previous Ashes series ended and new tests with new teams startedI don't understand what happened to the all conquering England from 6 months ago.
didnt happen iircThe funny (and from an English point of view, probably annoying) thing about the two Ashes series so close to each other is that the England series means **** all now.
That 3-0 was a bit harsh on Australia, it was more a 3-1 or 2-1 series. The 4-0 in India hurt but some of that side (Wade) played terrible. Its a tide turning series but I don't think as big as it seems to be made out as so far.This is quite the turn around for Australia. A 4 - 0 drubbing at the hands of India and then 3 - 0 Ashes loss just 4 months ago.

I was thinking the same thing until I saw the teams Oz played. It's not like the wins were against Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and NZ. 4 - 0 vs India, 3 - 0 against SL and 2 - 0 against WI. The only loss was against a very good SA team.i dunno. a lot of those wins were pretty facile in terms of the obvious gulf in quality between the sides.
this is the same team who we'd won one test in four years against.
