Player for player, when fully fit, England are better than Australia. Yes, they've (all but) stuffed us in this match (Ponting's second win in 9 attempts in this country) to make it 1-1. I still make England favourites to complete the job at The Oval.

The Oval hasn't been a result pitch this season. Batsman's paradise. Loose the toss there and the Aussies keep the urn.

That's not what you said when I said "no KP no Freddie" = 1-1 though. I admire your blind allegiance nevertheless because if you seriously think this shambles of a Team (even with Freddie) has any chance of winning the final Test you're sadly misguided. I'm clinging on to the hope for bad weather and 1-1 because a batting line up of Strauss, Cook, Bopara, Bell, Collingwood et al ain't gonna scare Bangladesh let alone the Aussies.

That's one view. The other is that Hugh Morris is on the phone right now to the groundsman at the Oval to prepare a bunsen burner.

Bangladesh may well be good enough to have given the West Indies a beating, but you are talking nonsense.
We're measuring England against the best team in the world. Australia have won two days at Leeds hands-down, yet still don't lead the series.

Bangladesh was "tongue in cheek" but if you seriously think that Bopara and Bell are good enough I suggest that you check their averages against the Aussies because that's what counts and not soft runs against the likes of the Windies who didn't even want to be here.
