England feel they are Ashes favorites
A clean sweep of 2-0 in ODIs and Tests over lowly out of sorts reluctant West Indies makes England feel they are good for Ashes. They feel they are a good bunch and can take on the Aussies and beat them. Aussies aint the same team as they were in 2005. Yet they are good enough to beat England today. If not 5-0 then 3-1 is a certainity, provided they dont play too bad cricket like they did in India and Australia.
True, the selection of Andrew M over Andrew S is a dampner, but they have got enough selection headaches in bowling department. And they would also mull over Mr Cricket. Do they play him or dont play him ? Average drop from 80 to 54 in a year.
English cricket is very fickle. One good performance and they feel they are best in the world. And then the next game, they are ruthlessly brought down to the earth 10 feet deep under.
