This was one of the most anticipated series of cricket for some time, what with England having won the Ashes a couple of years ago over there. Unfortunately it wasn't to be and as we got towards the end of the English tour, it really looked as though it was going to be a non event.
All of a sudden though, England has hit some form and Australia are having some trouble with their lineup. England at present aren't far off a win in the first final of the one day series against Australia, having beaten them recently and coming off a good win against New Zealand, who were looking okay themselves.
It is a good sign going into the world cup. The more teams in form, the better the cricket is going to be, but even before we get there, we are seeing some decent cricket now in this series. Australia really should have scored over 300 with Ponting and Hayden's starts. Mr Cricket (Mike Hussey) didn't go on like he normally does however and Australia were left with an average score at just over 250.
The two English players who have been talked up, but in my opinion, done very little - Collingwood and Bell, have made some runs and although Bell is out, Flintoff is in and looking quite good, as he usually does. It isn't over, but whatever the result, it is good to see the English do something. We haven't seen it all summer!
