http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/24199296 Mr Lehmann seems keen to comment on our team - perhaps it's to hide the deficiencies in his own?? Another dour 3-0 win will do us fine!!!
Aussie are running scared,and Lehmann is just stoking the fire. When we beat them this winter,it will be another nail in his coffin. He was fortunate in his career to be part of probably the best Test team of all time, but has yet to prove himself a top coach.
England did not play well in the summer which made it a closer series (e.g Cook, Trott etc). If England's top 3 fire then it's going to be one way traffic
It will be interesting to see if they produce fast bouncy pitches for the benefit of their bowlers as this will surely help us out... You only have to see the 4 'big' quickies we are taking to assume that their batters are going to get the same treatment that ours will. And we definitely have the better line up in terms of batters, bar Clarke, than them... The bowling might be a lot closer than we think as they seem to have a good mix of bowlers now, but the biggest fear for them is the fitness of the bowlers. They are already cracking up and were not even playing at the moment...!!!
In theory players like Cook and Pietersen will want a bit of pace and bounce. Will be interesting to see how Trott deals with that (Aussies seem to think he does not like the short stuff)
