If Australia are going to keep serving up Shield pitches like the one at Junction Oval the other day, no wonder we struggle abroad. Zampa got carted & thank goodness Lloyd Pope didn't play. He's a leggie of whom much is hoped.
England are an enigma. Certain series( Ashes 05, India 12/13, SL last year) they focus & plan & get it right. Then, it seems, they ride on that success, get dusted by other countries (like Windies earlier this year) & then realise that was a wake up call.
But whoever hopes to win in India in the near future, do your homework on Ashwin. The bastard is bowling hand grenades in India & rarely gets those injuries which mysteriously manifest themselves when he tours.
