This team has conquered the cricketing world both home and away! Weakest! While England now has the strongest team they have fielded in a generation, they are still facing a series whitewash unless weather intervenes. If this Aussie team is the "weakest" you have seen in some time, then what does that say about Englands "strongest" in some time
ILA, i have vowed to not be cocky and rub salt in to the wounds of the English supporters this summer, but you are now officially exempted from that list

weakest i think not......Langer av's 50 since his return.....Hayden over 50, Ponting over 50, Martyn, Clarke and Katich.....all 40's.....Gilly late 50's

then we have the best legspinner ever and one of the best ever cant even make the 11.....Haddin is one of the best wicketkeeper batsmen in the world.......better than any pom....and he cant make the 11......McGrath, Lee....world class bowlers.....weakest hahaha that is a compliment i guess

If you read my posts you'll see I'm not an over the top Ern like England fan. I expected them to lose the series and I still think they will. However I do hold the opinion that the Aussies are weaker now than in the past few years where they were just about unbeatable. Batting lineup doesn't look as strong to me now and I still have grave doubts about Gillespie. England of course still won't be good enough to beat them.
