It is your thinking Barry that the players changed. It was not the players that changed but the nature of the pitches . English pitches and weather first swing the ball and our green pitches turn the ball on impact . This the Aussies can not handle as they do not have any pitches left in Aussie that behave the same, so they do not have the playing ability to handle it. However in the second Test we did give their fast bowlers a hard straight pitch and they thrashed us by over 400 runs.
When we go over there next they will give us rock hard non-turning pitches and we will lose 5-0 again.
Guess that should have gone on the "Cricket" thread.
