Three Eternal Truths.

[rowley2]

1. England struggle badly in the first test overseas.
2. England's batters collapse to order, a grim fact of life often hidden by their good bowling attack.
3. England, for the most part cannot play proper fast bowling.

 

[The Omega Man]

I'll give you another truth - the Aussies havent beaten us in a series for a number of years now, England has been a very dominant team in test cricket for a while now and this is the very first test, not the end of the world. England are shaken here but they are easily good enough to ram it right down the Aussie throats.

One game doesnt change or lessen all of the good work that England has done over the recent past - 4 or 5 of those performances would start to however.

Aussies are wankers is another.
