It certainly will and I don’t believe anyone left the ground after the 4th day feeling anything other than an English win was in the bag. The Ozzie tail has wagged in almost every innings so a decent score from anyone of the tailenders was no surprise. No, the Ozzies were outplayed and yes they are a weak side, but England are now team with depth and I think South Africa and India will prove tougher competition. New Zealand are very poor at the moment and a long way from getting back to their previous heights.

Sri Lanka will be fun this summer but the Indian series starting in August will be the challenge and if we win we will go No 1 in the ICC table.
