England get whitewashed - who would have thought?

One would have gotten good odds on Australia winning the series 5-0 a couple of months ago. I have no idea what they were, never bothered looking! Australia to win, yes, but not a whitewash! Just goes to show how unpredictable sport can be.

Before this series started, Australia lost 7 out of its previous 8 test. Now they're starting to look like the best team in the world, but perhaps a little premature thought if anyone think they are.

Clarke certainly believes his team has the best bowling attack in the world. Not sure the boys on the other side of the Indian Ocean agrees with that and we're certainly in for a treat in a month's time when the two teams go face to face in a three match series.

England were humiliated earlier on being dismissed in their second innings within a mere 33 overs! They looked like a heavy weight boxer getting knocked out in the 12th round having lost every round and just couldn't absorb any further punches. A team who just had no fighting spirit left! I feel sorry for those players who have to stay on for the one day series.

So how good is this Australian team now? Well, their big test begins on the 12th of February at Centurion!

I can't wait!
