So from london to south Africa to Australia, England are the in team it would seem.
Wisden tribute to England Stars.
Quote:
All five of cricket bible Wisden's cricketers of the year are English, for the first time in 45 years.
Ashley Giles, Steve Harmison, Robert Key, Andrew Strauss and Marcus Trescothick have received the honour. The awards recognise that England won all seven of their home Tests in 2004, against New Zealand and West Indies.
Flintoff and Vaughan were not eligable because they have been previous winners.

England seem a good outfit to me, 5 plyers sweeping the Wisden awards, plus Flintoff and Vaughan, England need fear no one.
A bit of cheer for Australia, The best cricketer in the world, Not Glen McGrath, nor any of their batting, no the best cricketer in the world according to Wisden is Shane Warne, and I wont argue with that.
Quote:
However, Australia's Shane Warne was named the leading cricketer in the world after a dramatic return from a 12-month ban for failing a drugs test.
And some people are predicting an easy series win for Australia.
