Has beating an overseas touring side, on hard fast pitches, with the Kookaburra ball, merely 'papered over the cracks' for an Australia side incapable of showing the same form in other conditions, then?
A home win in home conditions, is surely perfectly valid for England, as it is every other...
That is simply not true.
As poor as England were for the most part, they were the better team in Melbourne, and were never at any stage behind in that Test.
