Maybe but the English has a real strong team and a great spirit now (like the Aussies have been over the last 10 -15 years). The spirit and determination of the team make up as an extra man i reckon.

Be good to see ponting be the first oz captain to lose them 3 times !

Being a pom myself as you may know, I would like to see them win, but they have been such a disappointment over than the years.

1162485 2010-12-16 18:54:00 While secretly wanting them to win, I am a realist and won't celebrate until they do as I have seen them collapse so many times before. But hey stick it to the Ozzies gary67 (56)

Woah, psychic!

I'm the kind of person who supports NZ, and any team playing Oz. ;)

1162488 2010-12-16 22:07:00 The Australians have a problem, a winning combination that has been growing old together for too long, a major infusion of new blood is needed.
In spite of the above, there are exceptions, one of the real sour jokes was that it was suggested Mike Hussey is getting a bit too old, and without Hussey's batting the Australian score lines in this Ashes series woulde have looked pathetically sick.
Australia has a wealth of talent, and the time is overdue to give new blood a chance.

The English team have been superb, and what I particularly enjoy about English cricket is the sportsmanship, they are gracious loosers and not insufferable in victory, which are attributes that one cannot pin on the Aussies, and to a lesser extent on Kiwis -
If you disagree, give an instance when there has been an occasion where the All Blacks, either the team or their supporters have been gracious in defeat.
It seems to be a down under trait - show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser.
