I think that is very revealing. Our batsmen were only 500 runs behind, whereas our bowlers were almost only half as good.
The end result is the same.
I have a long and tired rant over on Bailey Blog. You won't thank me for repeating myself here!
The runs bit is interesting except in the light that we scored 2,530 in 10 innings (for the loss of 96 wickets), whereas the Aussies managed 3,114 in just 9, well if you look closley it was more like 7 innings and only lost 59 wickets! The end result is the same...our batsmen AND our bowlers were only half as good!!
To quote my wife
"Is that all I thought they were 5 times as good"
So england weren't as bad as what we thought :-)
Geoff
