The future of Cricket belongs to England. The true character of a team is judged in tough times and England has shown time after time that it possesses all weapons of a champion team. Just like Australia, England has also shown the killer’s instinct on numerous occasions in last 2 years…remember when Nasir Hussain scored a century in his last test match 6 months ago against NZ at Lords chasing almost 300 runs in fourth innings…every body was thinking that England would lose the match but they won it quite comfortably in the end……then England was forced to follow-on by WI in the fourth test match in WI ( the test match in which Lara scored 400) but the Englishmen batted superbly in the second innings to avoid the defeat…. And now in SA, England was down by 200 runs after completion of the first innings but they batted heroically in the second innings to set SA a target of 379 to win……
And all this makes the upcoming Ashes series in England to be one of the most anticipated Ashes for a long time. I predict that England will win the ashes this time and arrogant aussies will come back home licking their wounds.
