Theres another one of those floating about

While Gooch is missing in action, Australia's batting coach is ensconced with his side. There is no accounting for his value on staff. He's all over the technical stuff, but there's also no better motivator of men in world cricket. The mental turnaround has J. Langer written all over it.
7 No depth
In such a cramped schedule, injuries are bound to hit both camps. England are in serious strife if they lose any of their first XI. There's a vast gulf between their top-tier players and those on the standby list. Australia can only hope and pray that off-spinner Monty Panesar is called in for Graeme Swann.
"Australia have 8 Test-standard speedsters in the queue".
Curious I had a 10 dollar bet after the Perth test with a die hard Cricket friend that Australia would crumble in Melbourne & Sydney
One wonders what state of delusion you'd have to be in to imagine
that Australia with 2 bowlers firing 1 batsmen in form in Perth
were suddenly a chance of winning the series
England were bad in Perth but then Australia were worse in Adelaide
and Impotent in Brisbane
