The World is not enough!

No, I'm referring to the James Bond flick (1999), but to the massacre that has happened at the Telstra Dome, Melbourne over the last few days. 3-0 to Australia. Was anyone expecting it? Maybe 2-1 or even 1-2, but 3-0 to the Aussies? Nah! And to think people were over the moon after the Ashes got over! The old order changeth they said...hmmm. Where are the same people now? You may have a Flintoff or a Pietersen or even a Sehwag, but on the other side you have a Watson or a Hussey or a Katich or a Clarke or a Gilchrist or a....You get the picture. What this side may lack in individual brilliance [(unlike an India or a Pakistan), some Aussies might even take offence to this], they make up with superior fielding, bowling, batting. If one fails, someone else takes the baton and finishes the race. That's the reason why they are number 1, and that too after playing and winning everywhere (they even conquered India). One English summer does not maketh a world champion! Hopefully the test match might prove me wrong!
