Well Australia is the best team in the world right now. I don't think anyone even comes close to their depth chart, even with English county cricket getting so much publicity they don't have the system in place like Australia does. The growing number of foreign players playing county cricket keeps the local players away. This can be seen in the English premier league too. Given, in soccer most of the world-class clubs with money have international player but the number of international players playing in England is quite high. No wonder they always choke when it’s time to shine. I don't think its lack of talent but the way the talent is molded and the selection to. Leaving out 2 key bowlers like monty and mahmood was a mistake in the first couple of matches. They just weren’t prepared for the Australians and like everyone is saying them going back to England for 10 days for R and R was stupid. The mind set was we beat em last year we can do it again. As they say the wounded tiger is more dangerous I guess that is true.
