I don't think so, Paul. I think they would still have found someone to pull them through and take advantage. So often, that has been a noticable difference (last series was different) between us.

England from the 100 for 2, a healthy position, to 150 odd all out is not earth shattering news. On the other hand even if Australia were 80 for 6, you (or at least I) have the feeling 250 plus (though I must admit this one has surprised me in how high they have got) is possible.
