Okay, is anyone at all interested in this farce of a Cricket series???

As soon as they decided many months ago to schedule it AFTER the Ashes Series, I thought there was a BIG chance that decision could come back to bite the ICC.

I know the old theory about having to beat the number one team both at home AND away before you take their crown, and I know that the rankings say Australia's still on top, but Australia are clearly NOT the best team in the world right now on form. England are.

If Australia aren't beaten easily by the World XI, I will want to know why, because on the form they displayed in England, they shouldn't even get close.
