Well for me I have included Sri Lanka these wickets and the West Indian wickets in general recently have been slow and low and turning and the Sri Lankans have the batsmen and bowlers to suit the conditions.
Australia, they may be an old and fading team but they have self belief and they just don't realise they aren't that good anymore. Sometimes the belief will carry you a long way, although I don't feel that Gilchrist is the threat he once was, Hayden is a flat track bully, Clarke doesn't impress me and Hussey seems out of form. With the loss of Lee the batting looks the weakest of any Aussie line up I have seen in years, heavily reliant on Ponting, but then if I was going to relly on any batsman it would be Ponting at the moment.
And finally England, they have just come off of 3 wins over Australia, have Peiterson back who can be extremely destructive, Collingwood looks in prime form, and a good bowling attack with Panesar and a number of usefull part timers to fill in with various types of support.
