I'm torn with this series. On the one hand I'm more than happy to see England taken down a peg or two because since they became a force again in world cricket they've regained that horrible smug we-invented-this-game arrogance. But then give the Aussies a whiff of success and they're back sledging, jeering, calling players cowards in the press, and generally displaying all those traits which have made me loathe them for 30 years.
