Wouldn't be devastating... you are devastating them... they are showinbg a wee bit of fight, with key players (Bell, Root, Pieterson, Prior, Broad and Anderson) showing an indication they now realise they are in a series... Cook too good (surely) to keep going like this - so, whether 1-0 or 2-0 it really is about whether the character and pride of the English makes a more profound appearance, or they really are past it...
The difference between 1-0 & 2-nil is massive. Eng have shown some signs of recovering in the 2nd innings & it's crucial we convert this dominance into a 2 match lead. If it's 1-nil heading to Perth, the pressure will be on us big time to continue our strong record there & our batting still hasn't been all that convincing... Anderson could start roaring again on a lively WACA deck and we could very well collapse again. The terrible perfirmances of this side has scarred me over the past few years!
