Er well, I'd say more than Swann has been the difference. Aussie's batting line-up in general has been crap, whereas it's England's top order that has been just as crap but the middle order has been much better, well, better anyway.
Also, no more Moody.
Blewitt is in the chair on Friday.
To some extent I agree, Aussies don't have a spinner, England have a world class one who takes wickets. But Anderson has been instrumental in first two test wins, the Aussies just couldn't play him. Bell too. In England's two wins, Anderson and swan bowled superbly, but bell dug the batsman out of a massive hole twice to play a key part in winning the games.Originally Posted by Cripps
So for me, the difference is the two bowlers being the best two in the world at what they do, and having middle order batsman who can stand up amd score match winning/saving tons. The Aussies have Clarke to do that, if he fails. They all fail
Monty the GHEL.
Fourth test today. In sunny Durham.
Anyway, let's win the series.
Altough if I know England, they will probably slack off.
Batting masterclass with KP on at the moment.
Think it is actually for batting and not putting tape on bats.
England win the toss and will bat first. Unchanged team.
Jackson Bird is in for Starc.
Australia's entire bowling line-up from the first test has changed now.
