i meant that all i hear is whinging when they arent on top, and then at the other end of the spectrum there is elation and a "we are so much better than you" attitude.
sif youd support france

2nd test: england dominent for the first few days, should have got more in their second innings, was only some superb batting from Lee and Warne that almost salvaged it.
3rd test: england beat australia in EVERY session. Warne single handly salvaged the draw. If it had not been for the rain England would have easily won
4th test: England enforced the follow-on, dominated the first couple of days. Should have been an extremely win but i think the nerves kicked in.
I know the actual margin of wins was far from dominant but beyond the figures England were well on top. What worries me is that England have been playing close to their best while Australia have been poor yet England are only just ahead.
that jsut proves that you lads have serious trouble putting them away. Its all and well good to dominate them in the first few days, then to nearly al let it all slip away in the final day.
All this "if it had not been for warne we would of easily won" i could say the excact same with an english player in place for all the tests.

Mefinks England will need a good days rain to help us get a draw because Australia are looking solid at the moment.
