Much has been made of what a woeful side the Australians have going into the Ashes. Has anyone bothered to look at what a bunch of complete donkeys England are? Fresh from narrowly averting a series defeat in New Zealand a few months ago (a 0-0 draw but NZ had the better of every test) they've raced to 8 for 200 off 99 overs in the first test against of the return series against NZ at Lords. What a sparkling 10 straight test matches the Ashes promises to be.
