I still stand by what I said, well dont to England for beating Australia, but Australia will destroy them next chance they get.

Cannot see anywhere that I said England had a stroke of luck ??? As a famous golfer once said, "the more I practice, the luckier I get" ( Palmer or Nicklaus I think)
They prepared and built up to this series for several years, remember the nucleus of this team has in recent times beaten Sri Lanka, Pakistan, South Africa & the West Indies in their own backyards. This is a team that is going places, it still has one or two weak spots but it is definately on the up whilst the Aussies have only one way to go with this current side. I think they missed a trick by omitting Andrew Symonds from the test team, along with the likes of Brad Hodges he could have had a huge impact on the tests. One other thing to think about, Shaune Tait looked very raw and wild, yet he was the leading wicket taker in inter state cricket in Australia last year, doesn't say a lot for the rest of the Aussie batsmen does it. Take Warne out of this side (40) wickets and you have a side that is going to struggle for quite a while.
