Australia 54 for 7. Now that is a score to relish. I doubt however that it is an accurate indication of what lies ahead in the
annus mirabilis-a Test series for the Ashes. (Sorry Transatlantic cousins this is a highly technical subject with which you may be unfamiliar. But to put it into context :England versus Australia is one of those issues which makes the War Against Terror fade into insignificance- Our Axis of Evil is based on Canberra, ACT, Oz but only for this summer) The other burning issue is the Lions against the All Blacks-who are mostly white and that is not cricket. Clear? Cricket is the England Australia bit. Rugby the NZ/All Blacks bit-Rugby being a sport played by men (mostly) with odd shaped balls. I suggest that this is enough bafflement. Blog-ed.
