>They're still a very good team, but I honestly don't think they deserve to be called great any more. Possibly but I'd like to give them till the end of the Ashes to decide that. They're going to make mincemeat of South Africa at home and away this summer (for them) even though the Proteas are probably thinking the complete opposite. India might be the team Australia has found most difficult to dominate in the last ten years, but there's something about South Africa that really gets them going in a way that they bring an intensity to it only seen in the Ashes.
>If only Panesar would learn the damn arm ball! Hehehe! Is this trip of his to Sri Lanka going to happen or not!? I really hope he does go. It should do him a world of good.
>The real question for me is how much I'm going to care anyway. This is what I hate the most about English and Aussie cricket fans. Even though our players don't rate England much, our fans treat every series with the same respect (though not necessarily with the same passion). It is disappointing we're only playing two Tests but I sometimes wish the Ashes never happened because to most English and Aussie fans, that's all that matters. :)
