Well The Ashes are all over now and as we know it was a complete and total whitewash. That was partly the fault of the English players themselves because even when it looked like they would win, the would collapse in a heap on the 3rd or 4th day. However on the other side of the coin, the incentive was there for a number of the Aussies players who had made the decision that they would retire if we regained the Ashes. That is a powerful incentive for anyone really, and as the world known now after we won the third test, Shane Warne announced that he was retiring after the end of the series. Within days a couple of other players had also made their announcements that they too would retire. However, since the end of the Ashes, the Aussies have been in a slump, and that could be because 4 good players retired. At the same time we also have a few out injured which further reduces the field. They are good players, but over half the team have not played as a cohesive team yet, and that will affect their playing. For some reason, the selectors made the wrong decision as to which bowlers to send overseas for the World Cup. Oh well that is what happens. No team can be on top forever, or all the time but I am also very certain that the Aussies will return to form soon. Having beaten the Aussies is a great morale booster for some of the other teams and I am sure that there will be great competition amongst everyone once again.

if they were able to draw the last test they would be a chance, but now i think Australia hs got them,maybe bring some ther players in like Panasar and Plunkett into the mix, i dont think Anderson is worthy of a place by his form
