Of course. Out of interest, does this rivalry feel as fierce as Liverpool v Man Utd?
It has always seemed to be a kind of friendly rivalry. I have never felt too strong towards the England cricket team as I have grown up supporting Pakistan (yes, **** u Norman Tebbitt
) and for me the rivalry of Pakistan v India matches is so fierce, dare I say it even more so that Liverpool v Utd.

It's fierce, but friendly. I wouldn't say it's comparable to India v Pakistan though.Originally posted by Tee View Post

The Aussies and the English love rubbing each others faces in it when the other does poorly

Yes and No.Originally posted by dww View Post
We had 2 terrible days in the series. Both meant we could have lost those matches, but we batted really well in the final innings to save them. We would probably have won the other test match if it hadn't of rained.
We were definitely below par and badly missed Swann (who can get wickets on almost any surface), but overall, we had a terrific winter in all forms of the game. We return home from the winter tour with more positives than problem areas.
The top 6 is finalised, the only doubt will be the bowling line up. But, the Aussies batting is poor and so I'm less concerned about that.Comment

Pre-season training with our 'Spring' weather must have been hell for the players."Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob PaisleyComment
