TALENT IN AUSTRALIA
Says BRUCE DOOLAND
I would back England to beat any of the cricket countries of the world right now. I think England has batting power now matured to produce consistency; she has the best wicketkeeper in the business; and the balance of her bowling is the tops in both variety and class.
But I think it would be a mistake to get too cocky. I have seen enthusiastic critics saying in print that this England side will sweep the board for the next five years. So it might. But don't be too sure. That sort of assessment is based on the assumption that Australia, for instance, will stay in the doldrums of the past
three years for ever.
But the question really is... should any one of the players
