Mate Ashley Giles could not spin anything even if you asked him! On spinning tracks the quicks are inneffective, there is no reverse swing in Australia and they are playing on pitches that suit Australia. I am confident will will regain it in 2 years to send Warne and McGrath out winners!

The ball still moves off the pitch over here, and there is swing, maybe not reverse, but on both counts England bowlers were better. Even taking reverse swing out of it, unless Australia prepares wickets that favour just spin, they'll still have to face superior pace bowling. And judging by the Ashes, if it swings ands moves off the pitch, the Aussie batters could be in trouble again.

Do you think Australia will prepare pace wickets- I DON'T THINK SO! They will be spinner's tracks, and rightly so! England have Ashlety Giles:lol:. He could'nt spin the ball even if you asked him too!

They were superior in the swing department but MOST of the wickets came from reverse swing. It is a lot easier to face conventional swing!
